"I like what Ron Paul says about healthcare, breaking it up so it's affordable for everyone. Now I'm an independent contractor, it can be quite expensive to find good health insurance," Brooke Taylor explains, as she waits in her workplace lounge a few miles east of the Nevada state capital of Carson City for a new client to arrive. "He's for bringing the troops home. Those are my peers. I want them home. These men and women are experiencing things nobody should have to. I like what he has to say about education."

Brooke - along with the owner of the company she works for and several of her colleagues - has begun campaigning for Texas congressman Ron Paul, the maverick libertarian Republican presidential candidate. They have even been offering two-for-one specials to clients who go onto their computer, access Paul's website and donate money.

And if Paul wasn't running? Well, then Taylor, who has a degree in music therapy and whose best friend is a political science graduate, would revert to her usual pattern - voting Democrat, hopefully, she says, for Obama.

Brooke's colleague, Max, disagrees. She's a Hillary Clinton supporter, hoping that if she made it to the White House the Bill Clinton magic would return. Why doesn't she like Bush? I ask, on a day the stock market has fallen by 300 points. "The economy. My income was drastically different seven or eight years ago. People are much more aware of what they're spending, and what they not going to spend now."

Just your everyday political discussion in the run-up to the Nevada caucus this Saturday. Except for the fact that Brooke, Max, and the dozens of other young women milling around the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, at the end of a road with a historical marker for the old Pony Express and a ramshackle car repair shop, in various degrees of lingerie are prostitutes. They are working in an upscale brothel in the only state in the union with legalized prostitution.

The Bunny Ranch's owner, Dennis Hof, has - to the embarrassment of Ron Paul - been touting his support for the congressman for a few months now. Above the lounge fireplace is a sign (photographed above): "We pound for Paul". Just inside the entrance is another pithy banner: "Pimpin' for Paul".

Priceless!
