I can confirm that there is a place called Primm with at least 2 residents. One of them sold me beer that I drank on my way in from LA and the other one asked me for money on the way out of the Shell station.

I get friends that come to Vegas that ask me to come see them since it's so close. The state is a baron wasteland.

Reno 7 hours north of Vegas, lol.

It sounds like it is generally up to the state or local governments. Virginia, for example, could postpone their voting for up to 14 days.

Well hey, since Nate's model is obviously not a fact, it's indistinguishable from Dick Morris, so yeah, the freepers have a point.

+1

+1 on #6, - 6k on intrade

Haha....I honestly used to think the abuse you got here was undeserved, now I think you prob get less than you should. The model, once it is created/found, is not anymore Nate's opinion than mine, yours or the laptop that spits out the results. What is a matter of opinion is how much weight you chose to give to his model in forming your opinion...so his model is prob closer to my (and alot of other people itt) opinions than his.

With less than two weeks to go, the Romney-Ryan ticket remains poised to win Ohio’s 18 electoral votes because our ticket has more enthusiasm

That's just about all you need to know about the R-R ticket

People actively campaigning for Obama are genuinely lol'ing at the Romney ground game. We're on the streets every day. We know what's going on. There is no Romney ground game.

I'm concerned about ground game. They seem to be impressed with themselves that they've made a bunch of phone calls. BFD. Here in NM I see tents full of Dems all over begging people to sign up and vote.
