4. early voting really makes a difference. gives a clearer vision of where the state is at.

I do believe these numbers as they reflect how early voting is going. the more emphasis that a state takes on in an election, the more likely people are to vote and they are voting in great numbers in Nevada (especially Dems) who hold a very large lead in registered voters.

6. 48,700 lead in fact, according to NV SoS

In Clark and Washoe counties combined.

5. Funny how poll nubmers receive more responses than actual EV results

The polls show Obama with a lead of 6 points, but early voting results, at least from the numbers I'm running into, show he has a lead of ~8 points.

Poll is just a poll, but EVs are actual Dems flipping a switch.

7. I was polled for the first time this campaign--I tink for this pollster

They asked my sex, age grouping, if I voted early, and if I did who I voted for (I assume if I had said I didn't vote early it would have asked who I expected to vote for). It was an automated survey.

8. Nevada is looking good, and if Dems are doing this well we probably will elect a dem senator, too.

14. No, the NV senate is split so far w/ Heller a touch ahead.

Berkley has not been able to seal the deal even w/ Dems so she'll have to hope that women carry her through I'm guessing.

9. Excellent. Nevada is the state we need to put up over the top...

...after we win the quadpack of PA, MI, OH, and WI.

15. Im hoping for Virginia and Florida...

So I can relax and get drunk before the polls ever close in Nevada...

[BlueDemKev]

16. Those would be nice bonuses for sure!

But I don't believe we can definitely count on them.

10. Poll also shows Heller only +1 over Berkley

Berkley will need Obama's coattails if she is going to get over the top.

It could be a very close miss for this Senate seat. That would suck.

Here's hoping for the best.

11. The deal is to win clark county by 75k+ votes

and we can see that happening right in front of us. Clark County AKA las vegas voters are unionized and I do not see Romney making any cracks into that block. NV is going to green this year and 2016.
