1. Remember 2004

Iowa had 30% of the vote in and Kerry up 12 points
bush won Iowa

Florida had about 30% of the vote in and Kerry up by
9 points ... bush won Florida.

We need to crush McCain.

4. a wise reminder not to let up

[applexcore]

2. Nice, and Nevada only has 17 counties?

Thats just kind of weird. NC has exactly 100.

3. Most western states have much larger counties

I believe that Los Angeles county is physically larger than Rhode Island.

8. with such heavy Dem turnout...

one would think that Obama would be leading by more than 2 points, right?

[wtbymark]

5. I was one of the 26,029 on week 2

Obama/Biden, Derby

on edit: oh yea, Washoe county

[bigdarryl]

6. But the exit polls show a 50/48 in early voting favoring Obama by a

2% lead so don't get over confident in this early voting

[grantcart]

9. those are nation wide polls that would also factor in Utah etc

but the methodology of that particular poll is considered suspect

[dennis4868]

10. no...the 50-48 spread...

is the actual exit poll of people who have already voted in NV...

13. Nice!

That's 32% of registered voters, but 36% of total projected voters (not all registered voters will vote).

The early GOTV is really working well this year :D
