Ralston NV this morning: "if the trend continues, she [CCM] is going to win."

Jon Ralston @RalstonReports

Bottom line: This first batch of 35K mail ballots shows a partisan breakdown that strongly favors CCM, and if the trend continues, she is going to win.

But miles to go before I can finally sleep, and we will know a LOT when Clark/Washoe post tonight.

There are alot numbers flying around his twitter account but the bottom line CCM is likely to win.

NV has to accept mail in votes until tomorrow. We might not know until Sunday or Monday.

It would take some really weird statistical fluke for her to lose at this point.

Ralston is the absolute authority on this, and he's pretty cautious.

I think Nevada will be called for CCM this weekend.

After that I will feel relief.

Seems like the pundits are pointing at all the red counties that still have some votes out there too, but those are tiny counties, you're talking hundreds of votes yet in those counties while tens of thousands remain in the 2 biggest and bluest counties.

To see her win NV and Kelly win AZ would be instant relief. We would not have to sweat out the election in GA for the next month.

We do not want to be in a position to have Senate control depending on the GA runoff. Although it did work out last time.

Currently Laxalt is 8,988 ahead...(Noon CST on the AP site and based on this morning's additional tabulation)

I found this on Ralston's twitter:

I prefer Wasserman because Wasserman does just one thing. (Not that one is better than the other, it's a personal preference) I'm not familiar with Ralston

Many of his posts are cryptic and vague but this one I just posted was pretty clear.
