Republicans failed to pick up much ground on the sixth day of early voting, with the early voting percentages staying about the same. If mail ballots in Clark are added, the Republicans have just under a 2 percent lead. Democrats have about a 10,000-vote lead in Southern Nevada. It appears that about a quarter of the vote (perhaps more) already is in for the South. In Washoe County, where early voting is not as popular, the Democrats also are slightly behind.
Total Clark early voting percentages relative to registration:
Democrats: 12.4 percent
Republicans: 13.8 percent
Total Clark with mail ballots added (Democrats extended their lead here to more than 1,600)
Democrats: 15.0 percent
Republicans: 16.9 percent
Another overnight gain of .2 percent. Where is the surge?
In Washoe, both parties turned about about 200 fewer voters on Thursday, so relatively little change there.
Total urban (no absentee tally in Washoe):
Democrats: 60,808 (14.4 percent)
Republicans: 53,097 (16.0 percent)
For numbers geeks:
CLARK:
Thursday: Dems, 6,881 Rs, 5,301 rest, 2,310
Early: Dems, 41,561; Rs, 33,748; rest, 14,016
Mail: Dems, 9,008; Rs, 7,388; rest, 2,382
Combined: Dems, 50,569 , Rs, 41,136 rest, 16,261
WASHOE:
Ds: 10,239 (11.9 percent)
Rs: 11,961 (13.7 percent)
Sharron Angle!
You look bigoted to me!
Will you bow out of the race since you are not qualified to run for office because you're prejudiced and biased in you thinking?
Here let me refresh your memory:
Sharron Angle: "you look Asian" as you spoke to a high school Hispanic group.
Do you support the career Texas Governor in his race? Will you denounce and repute the following persons who made disparaging remarks about people of color?
Let me remind you of their comments:
==> Tancredo in Colorado. Tancredo had a "MACACA Moment" specifically calling President Obama, "Barack Hussein Obama", to specifically identify the President as "Hussein" to further amplify "Islamic roots" as a rallying cry to the masses!
==> Rand Paul, who referred to Jim Crow Era tactics and side tracked bigotry by saying private ownership "should be allowed to determine who could be served in restaurants or food counters."
==> Palladino in New York, who used an "African Tribal Dance" and called it "President Obama's Inaugural Dance", and used computer generated photos of President and Michelle Obama dressed as pimp and prostitute in one of his mailings.
==>The Oregon State candidate who continues to home school with an old text book calling "Negroes" as "Childlike and unintelligent"!
==>Virginia Republican Party Chairman of a comment that "His dog should be eligible for Welfare" since "He black, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and probably has no clue who his daddy is"!
These people are bigoted and discriminated and do not deserve to run for office, don't you think?
Please respond in this forum so all can see your response. I will automatically assume no response will make you just a culpable.
Till then:
Vote
Out
The
(E)Incumbent Republican BIGOTS of "NO"
Ralston reminds me of a sports reporter along the sidelines of a football game. They have a lot of crap to talk about, but we'd really rather be watching and listening to the game. For a dude who speaks-out against early voting, Ralston sure likes to give the play-by-play. This seems contradictory. Hey, Jon, we are more interested in the issues! It's only the final score that will determine the winner.
Isn't it interesting how the libs talk so much about non-issue items. That's because they and their heroes in DC can't stand on their record. These non-issue items are fun for the libs to talk about, but they don't sway the opinion of a clear thinking person who is knowledgeable on the issues which REALLY matter. The practice of the libs' harping on non-issue items is a sign of desperation, as they run from their record.
Sagehopper, these numbers are newsworthy because they contradict the media narrative. Six days into early voting, the predicted Republican stampede to the polls has not materialized.
Also, there is absolutely no evidence of a Republican field operation. A canvasser for Angle or Heck has never knocked doors on my street, while Democrats have been here several times.
Not all knuckle-dragging numbskulls are Sharron Angle supporters, but all Sharron Angle supporters (you too, Sagehopper) are knuckle-dragging numbskulls. Tune in to KDUMB and let the wonderfully inarticulate Heidi Harris explain it to you.
'THE CANNON BALL EXPRESS'
John Luther ("Casey") Jones (March 14, 1863 -- April 30, 1900) was an American railroad engineer from Jackson, Tennessee, who worked for the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). On April 30, 1900, he alone was killed when his passenger train, the "Cannonball Express," collided with a stalled freight train at Vaughan, Mississippi, on a foggy and rainy night.
His dramatic death, trying to stop his train and save lives, made him a folk hero:
@Sagehopper,
I understand that, as Mr. Ralston report the facts of this political race, may seem like watching a slow train wreck to you, but by insulting Mr. Ralston is not going to make you a "folk hero"; because you can not stop this from happening.
radsenior has posted the same rant on nine different discussions and is race bating and he can assume nothing...
The unknown factor in this early votong report is counting Registered Democrats just voting for Democrats. Outraged Democrats juat might be voting for Republicans in this election which shows this whole reporting thing useless for the most part.
It gives Jon a paycheck anyway which is more than some of us have.
Just because Democrats have repeatedly sent Harry back to Washington doesn't mean they will do it again.
Looks like Reid is winning, because the teabags are too old to vote on election day, they all have disabilities and are on VA or Medicare Benefits.
Also younger people are more apt to be cellphone only and vote on election day. Therefore the bias Rasmussen and MD polls are way off.
Angle should concede the race to Reid now.
VOTE EARLY, and Vote often, and VOTE for REID!!
I would think that the Repub % is rich or retired and can vote anytime. Even though the the Dems are ahead in the voting now, wait until they get time from work. Predict a blow out. Not trying to bash all the Repubs, I threw some votes that way, I'm independent. I respect the Repubs who will not vote for Angle. The Teabaggers hijacked their party and hate radio and faux TV is not helping them.
Angle is not only dumber than a bag of rocks, she's also a sociopath.
Say what you will about Harry Reid but if we Nevadan's elect a whackjob like Crazy Sharron Angle to represent us we'll become the laughingstock of the nation, and deservingly so.
Now that the bridge is built, the I-11 interstate maybe come a reality only if Reid is elected. This would be a big impact on Nevada economy. This is a bill that he has worked on. Angle would destroy it, no respect in the Senate and she probably wouldn't do anything anyway. She's person of one liners and NO. The only thing I've heard from her is support to keep the Tax break for all. Interesting how the Rich has got RICHER. Check Forbes, yes it has grown bigger. Meanwhile the poor and middle class has had to suffer. Figure it out folks. Many of the anti Reid comments are also coming out of State, could care less about the Nevada economy that the last Admin of do nothing destroyed. We don't need Governed or regulations, let the greed rip us off was the last admin. It's Socialism they say but I say It's Godwins theory they use to get richer.
Liberals like to be patronized by Harry and Barry...
Sagehopper--- "Isn't it interesting how the libs talk so much about non-issue items?" you ask. Isn't it interesting that for Sharron Angle supporters any story, issue or topic that doesn't bode well for Angle (there are so many of them) is immediately tagged a "non-issue?" Actually, they usually rather repetitively and dully ask, "Why is this even a story?" They say this no matter how huge, topical or obvious it is that the story is indeed a big story.
mred- I like your comment. VA benefits and medicare? Those folks, for the most part earned those benefits and I would ask our Senator want-to-be to at least accept publically he will not accept his Congressional health care plan and take the ObamaCare plan he forced down the throat of the voters who told him they were not interested. Additionally, he should talk about his contributions to Social Security...That's right, he's exempt from that as well. Do you think he'll vote for a raise to support out senior's? No, he doesn't care about the people, it's a family tradition.
Just watched the debate between David Roger and Don Chairez. The best part? Jon asks David if he believes in equal justice for Nevadans. David's response: NO
Then he goes on to state that he just wanted to get Paris Hilton "out of dodge as soon as possible".
Bye Bye David.
wait, mred, are you now suggesting people commit voter fraud?
Frau Angle will goose step to victory, leading the latino and asian surge. Autistic youth will rally to her banner. LDS elders thrill to her Pastor calling them a gutter religion. Is there any group out there, other than well fed white people, that Frau Angle hasn't offended? If so, there is still time.
Today, Democrats have a 5% lead over republicans.
Harry Reid will win.
Stop talking about turn out percentages! If all 20 [facetious] of the Green Party voters voted, 100% turn out, would THAT be a significant headline? It is possible for the Republicans to turn out 100% and still LOSE. You are just jerking around the numbers. The ONLY tally is the ACTUAL votes cast which shows Dems ahead of Reps by 7,000 votes cast in early voting. Period.
Good morning, Nellis.
Washoe County has been a nest of Republican voters since granny's nightgown caught on fire from grandpa's cigar.
The Clark County vote has been a toss-up between Dems and Reps before Palin's Moulin Rouge and clothes did not help the image a lot although she still perceives herself as being in the ring of those whose Versace's should support her theories which have some credence over Christian prodigal sons and witchcraft.. Angel's solution to the awful unemployment rate of Las Vegas is about as
wholesome as eating fried chicken feet dipped in horse radish sauce. She is an angel with the AYP of 23.5% credit card rate for secured credit cards.
Heck...Topeka's last City Attorney's name was Bob Heck...he is still on trial for owning the City many bucks for various expenses.
Spoke to Howdy this morning about the pink light bulb being burned out over her head. She looks a little depressed with that pink light bulb burned out. Not at all like a corporate trophy girl.
The new health care law wasn't supposed to undercut employer plans that have provided most people in the U.S. with coverage for generations.
But last week a leading manufacturer told workers their costs will jump partly because of the law. Also, a Democratic governor laid out a scheme for employers to get out of health care by shifting workers into taxpayer-subsidized insurance markets that open in 2014.
While it's too early to proclaim the demise of job-based coverage, corporate number crunchers are looking at options that could lead to major changes.
"The economics of dropping existing coverage is about to become very attractive to many employers, both public and private," said Gov. Phil Bredesen, D-Tenn.
THANKS HARRY, GREAT WORK
