RENO, Nev. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is appealing to Nevadans to get to the polls as soon as early voting begins on Saturday to make sure President Obama carries the key swing state again.

Biden made a similar pitch earlier Wednesday in Colorado, where early voting starts on Monday. He told a crowd of about 500 at a convention ballroom in downtown Reno he's confident if they win Nevada they'll retain the White House.

Biden says Republican Mitt Romney wants to return to the same GOP policies of shredding government regulations, letting Wall Street bankers make their own rules and giving massive tax cuts to the wealthy. He says the last time that happened, nine million jobs were lost. He says no state suffered more than Nevada as a consequence.
