Wow look at Nevada Map

[nmbluesky]

Reid won only three County, Clark, Washoe, and Mineral.. Angel won 11 County... but Thanks for Reno and Las Vegas helping Reid to win!!!

[Drunken Irishman]

1. I believe Obama won only two counties when he won the state in 2008.

Maybe three?

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. People vote, not landmass

Just sayin'...

[left coaster]

8. Yep! nt

[onehandle]

3. Those counties that she won are mostly populated with tumbleweeds. nt

[MilesColtrane]

20. Yes, she dominated the *meep* *meep* constituency and little else.

[JI7]

4. i think Dems usually win by less counties but whose populations are huge

[Quixote1818]

5. Outside of Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada has only very sparse population.

Elko and a couple of other towns have a few thousand but Nevada is empty land big time!

[GSLevel9]

6. 90% of the state is dirt and cactus surrounding Vegas. nt

[wtmusic]

9. In 2004 Clark County (Vegas) went for Kerry, but Bush won the state.

I did a lot of campaigning there and it was a major disappointment.

Its electorate can be very fickle, and there just aren't that many of them.

[laughingliberal]

22. Yeah, Bush took Washoe and all the cow towns. nt

7. I'm not up on Nevada counties..

but aren't Clark and Washoe the heavily populated ones?

[laughingliberal]

23. Yes. nt

[Merlot]

10. Maybe you've never been to Nevada?

It's a desert, an empty desert. For a while, Las Vegas slogan was "the island of Las Vegas" because there is nothing else there.

[nmbluesky]

12. I went to Las Vegas before..

but really it's amazing he won for three county.. you know :)

[JI7]

17. because that's where most of the people live

[kiva]

11. 1,902,834 live in Clark County.

740,000 live in the rest of Nevada.

[nmbluesky]

13. not surprised

of course in Las Vegas!!!!

[kiva]

15. Yes - you don't find too many democrats in the rural areas.

[Renew Deal]

14. Do you remember Obama winning Nevada in the primary?

Hillary got more votes, but Obama got more delegates.

[craigmatic]

24. If Reid can win so can Obama. As a matter of fact I'd say Reid won because of Obama.

[SoCalDem]

16. Snakes & tumbleweeds don't get to vote

:rofl:

[laughingliberal]

18. Yes. Angle won the all important counties where all the cows live. Lol.

The shocker for me was Reid taking the very red county of Washoe by the margins he did. He only garnered 31% in my county. I figure that's me, Mr. LL, and another Democratic couple who live on the next street over.

[rollin74]

25. Washoe isn't all that red these days

numbers of registered voters is pretty close

republicans- 87,013
Democrats 86, 174

Democrats had more registered voters in 2008 rethugs only recently took the lead in the run-up to this election

[laughingliberal]

27. I guess I just have the pleasure of running into all the redstaters there. nt

[last_texas_dem]

19. The rocks and coyotes love 'em some Angle.

[laughingliberal]

21. ...

:rofl:

[Bitwit1234]

26. AND I can tell you one thing do you know why I bet I do..

Angle the ditzbag said she would work to ban alcohol and what does Reno and Las Vegas make most of their living from...tourist, partying and gambling. And if you had no alcohol no matter what they built no one would come.
