On the first day of early voting, 62 percent of Clark County voters were Democrats, while 23 percent were Republicans and the rest nonpartisans or members of minor parties. Through Sunday, 55 percent of early voters were Democrats, 29 percent Republicans.
Ok, now pay close attention, the early voting gives Democrats a 26 point edge in in votes cast.
Exit polling of early voters conducted by a local political consultant suggests a close presidential contest in the Silver State: Democratic nominee Barack Obama had the votes of 50 percent who had voted, while Republican nominee John McCain had 48 percent of the early vote.
Whoa! That is a heck of a lot of PUMAs.

Bump!
I like it a lot!
Operation Chaos still in the trenches?
I still vividly recall before the Nevada Caucus when they did a focus group of the Culinary Union workers.. the Culinary Union endorsed Obama and they were all told to vote for Obama (many could not get time off to vote if not voting Obama -- which Bill Clinton was furious over)...anyway when Luntz did the focus group it got so nasty between the Hispanics and the Blacks on the panel it had all of Britt Hume's panel jaw slacked.. they even talked about it the next day. I still think Hispanics are NOT going to vote for Obama in large numbers.... at least not in the SW USA.
This is the second thread with good reports from Nevada.
WOOT!
Nevada as a whole is conservative/libertarian, except for being antinuclear and supporting unions.
Maybe some of the PUMAs will decide they like Sarah better than Hillary after all.
Ahh...good to see you cheer up a bit snarkyt!
I think Obama talking about the Constitution is a large mistake on his part, there is “change” then there is the Survival of the Republic.
And let’s face it, no one wants to pay more taxes..LOL!
GOTV efforts!
How about a working vacation for 2-3 days in Pennsylvania, Saturday through Sunday?
Pennsylvania’s nice. Lovely foliage this time of year. And it’s filled with racists and bitter clingy people with guns and Bibles, so you should fit right in.
It’s not that hard. And besides, you can go out and take over bars with your fellow morons after seven. Then maybe go out in your Ford trucks and run down homosexuals.
This is Sort of What I Mean By the GOP Getting on the Stick: Seriously, if the GOP gave me a hotel room and transportation, I’d do this. Now, I’m not a celebrity, but I do have readers who might decide to come along with the AoSHQ crew if we were all, say, knocking on doors in Bucks County or wherever. If there’s a social thing afterwards.
There are a lot of bloggers people would sign up for. Jeff Goldstein in Colorado, for example, and all of his readers heading out to get out the vote, then having drinks afterwards. Captain Ed in Minnesota. The Red Staters in Virginia. Iowahawk, wherever he lives.
Allah on his couch, yelling at empty bottles of Jack Daniels that they just don’t get it.
Door to door during the day, blog party at night. People are more willing to shell out bucks for a good cause if it’s not merely work, but a bit of fun too. Combination GOTV and meet-up.
I mean, these are trivial expenses for the RNC. I’d pay myself but I don’t pay my way for stuff like this anymore — I’m dirt poor as it is and I can’t afford to book hotels and planes for this sort of thing.
It’s too late now, of course.
Swing State Lodgings? Some readers are asking if anyone can put them up for a weekend to do this.
If you’re in a swing state, have a spare bed, and can sleep through the sounds of reckless masturbation coming from the rumpus room all night, maybe say so.
Ohio Canvassers? Email me if you have any intent; a reader wants you to email him. I don’t know if it’s about getting together to go in groups or lodging. Or him abducting you and selling you into forcible Thai prostitution.
It’s going to be cool and fun, no matter which one.
Subject line “Ohio Canvass” so I can search easily, thank you.

And that’s exit polling, how many of those saying bambi were telling the truth? In either case, bambi is going down down down into the ring of fire and humiliation.....yeeehawwwwww!
assuming the exit polling is correct. Or maybe the Pubes are taking my advice and giving out $50 gift certs to the Chicken ranch!
Just curious what's going on in the Nevada mind.
agreed! ...and hoping we are right...
and maybe as more people find out more about Obama’s Marxism and criminal connections, they like Sarah and John better...
Very telling! Let’s hope this Silver State trend is a national bellwether.

“Seriously, if the GOP gave me a hotel room and transportation, I’d do this.”
I’m paying for my own. This time it’s that important.
My mother has a close friend in the upper ranks of local politics. The word is they don’t like the big zero.

I don’t like the turnout #’s though...is clark heavily DemocRAT?
Nevermind...I misread the 1st sentence. I see it now.
Clark County is where I am voting and is the only county that Kerry won in 2004. Kerry won 51.7 to 46.8.
We’ll get a better picture by Friday or Saturday. When dem voters finally get it into their head that their leadership and media have been lying to them—and the Marxist Onada will not win—they will resort to even more violence.
Methinks the lines will be quite long come election day. I know I am getting up early to get a place in line.
” there seems to be a growing tide of dems who are not liking the “O”... “
Obama’s biggest supporters, the media, should be very afraid of the monster they created. How can they look at what the Obama people did to the anchor woman down in Florida and not be concerned? If they don’t like what you say they’ll try to shut you down. That should scare everyone!
bttt
Hispanics have an extraordinarily high work ethic and they tend to move very quickly in to the middle and upper class. They have been part of the American dream for 300 years.
Home ownership, savings, strong traditional family, strong religious vales, etc. None of these traits suggest Obama has anything to offer. So, I don't believe Hispanics will support a black-centric president. They were stronger for Kerry because Kerry was a “traditional” Democrat and was non-threatening to their race and culture. Obama is going to lose this election
What is the significance of Nevada in regards to the election?
Huge. According to most polls, Nevada is in play and is a "must win" for McCain.
Given the very interesting early voting numbers in CA. (Dems only have a 1,000 ballot advantage and that this NOT considering the PUMA effect), this is troubling to Hussien.
No wonder the MSM and Hussein camp are nervous today. If the race is over (what they have been echoing for the past several weeks) why are they relentessly trashing McCain / Palin?
Why is Hussein doing this 1/2 hour long infomercial tonight if it is well in the bag???
Something does not ad up, FReepers
Get out and VOTE!
This might explain why the Clintonistas haven't aggressively undermined Obama in this general election campaign.
Maybe they know they don't have to.
Well then this election looks to be a lot like 2004. But the bad news is if we lose 1 or 2 close battleground states....that is all Obama needs.
And with the cheaters in Acorn there to help...the margins for us need to be much greater than they were in 2004 (like in Ohio).
McCain seems to have a lot of must wins...VA, OH, NV
My sister-in-law and her husband live in Las Vegas, both are registered Democrats and are voting for McCain, and my mother-in-law is a dyed in the wool loooong time Democrat and I suspect she is going to vote McCain, although it pains her to admit it.
Also in 2000 the democrats had a 4% higher turnout than the Republicans.
Can you say Bradley Effect?
Remember Tennesee for Gore? He was embarrased to lose his home state, but his gun control flip suprised everybody at the polls.
Well there is plenty of Tax waffle by O and his terrorist links are still coming out; the ONLY thing they are hitting a nerve on is McCain is ‘like’ Bush chant.
I say ‘Re distribute the wealth’ hits nationwide like the gun flip did in Tennesee.
Joe the Plumber may have made ALL the difference....
The coolest part is, those DEMS have already voted for McCain and so there will be no last-minutes switches. Obama-thugs won’t be able to coerce them into voting for “The One.”
What is the significance of Nevada in regards to the election?
Huge. According to most polls, Nevada is in play and is a “must win” for McCain.
****Plus, it’s Harry Reid’s state.
Am I right? This is LAS VEGAS? WOW!
I heard the same thing in NM. A lot of this PUMA and moderate Dem stuff not voting for Obama is almost secret. I think many Dems want him to lose and go away.
The obvious answer is that it ain't as much in the bag as they're shouting.
But the best advice here is yours: ignore all of the news (good, bad, and otherwise) and just get out and vote!!!
That's pretty much a given. If Big-O's people are counting on the Hispanics as a bloc vote then they've made a fatal error.
