Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston believes the A's have powerful support, despite state legislators' criticism during a special session. The A's have the backing of Nevada's Republican governor and a good chunk of Republican legislators. The team's executives faced tough questioning during the session, but the A's deal's supporters remain undeterred.
