Republicans lost ground to the Democrats in the urban counties on the largest and last day of early voting Friday, surely giving Democrats hope that a surge to blunt the GOP momentum could carry over into Election Day.

This guy was just on Fox and said Republican turnout is low compared to thepast by about 5%!?!? What's going on out there! Says it proves the surge is not there (paraphrasing) Warning! Site loaded with anti Angle ads.

Dingy Harry’s Las Vegas Sun is working hard to save their master’s @$$. I’ve heard of buying ad time but buying a whole newspaper is ridiculous.

People waiting until election day so they can't manipulate the early votes.

How do they know since no vote has been counted yet? Exit polling?

For all practical purposes, Ralston is part of the Reid campaign. Last night I read that RATS have exceeded GOPers by 6K early votes. But RATS have a 60K registration advantage in NV. Which means they are underperforming relative to their numbers.

Sharron is leading Reid by about 15 points among independents. That will be daunting for Reid to overcome, although there is always fraud.

Here's what the WaPo says about the race:

Two weeks of early voting that ended Friday provide only a barometer of turnout - it's far from conclusive with Election Day to come. The early numbers confirm Republicans are fired up to deny Reid a fifth term, but Democrats are getting to the polls in significant numbers, too.

No, they're just using registered party info according to Ralston on Fox. Reporteret had him emphasize that.

“This guy was just on Fox and said Republican turnout is low compared to thepast by about 5%!?!? What’s going on out there! Says it proves the surge is not there (paraphrasing) Warning! Site loaded with anti Angle ads.”

Ralston has been slamming Angle from day one, and covering up almost everything negative about Reid. (Sure he said she won the debate, but that’s about it).

Plus, the headline is very misleading. His data is mostly focused on urban areas, and the headline implies that this extends to the entire state.

Please. JOhn Ralston is a dedicated Reid cheerleader.
This scam has been trashing Angle non stop along with this Mormon mafia run newsletter.

Fox on the weekend is very pro Dem.

Folks, I personally know at least 5 lifelong Dems who are voting straight “R” this year.....Just because registered Dems are voting, doesn’t mean they’re voting for Dems...

The press is reporting the trend, but saying they are winning the individual races or their candidates are hard charging, then they will just shrug when their lies don’t bear fruit on election night.

They also never report anything that is related to the point of view or tea partiers. They have outdone themselves this cycle on keeping Republicans on the defensive. It’s the equivalent of the numbskull that puts their hands over their ears and makes loud noises.

It is an intimidation tactic utilized by the Dumbocrats. It is hoped to cause fear among Republican and Independent Voters. Your vote will not be enough, why vote, Scary reid will win. They tried to stack the deck in votes in Scary Reid’;s favor, but it was found out. The DumbocRats will strive to keep power in any manner. remember the Gwenn Moore Campaign in Milwaukee, Wi, her own son was arrested for slashing tires on the Republican Get out the votes Vans in Milwaukee. Be prepared for more dirty tricks and fraud to happen on Monday and Tuesday
