Nevada is actually really split. The north and rural areas are very conservative, but Las Vegas is heavily democratic. That is why the hotel unions are all in Las Vegas and not in Reno or rural Nevada. It takes a serious get-out-the-vote effort in Northern and rural Nevada to overcome the democrat leaning Vegas area. I haven’t seen the type of GOTV effort here as I have seen in the last two election cycles. Remember, Clinton won Nevada twice, due to the influence of Vegas. Bush and Dole won all other Nevada counties, but the vote in those counties was not enough to counter to Vegas vote. In the past few years, the newer and growing parts of Las Vegas have actually turned more conservative, so there is hope there as well.

You saying the GOTV on our side is lacking this year?
