>>So if the gambling industry supplied 3/4 of that...and if Lds supplied 10,000 votes...there’s your margin of victory. <<
Your posting history shows a general disdain for LDS.
Sorry FRiend, the corruption, illegals and voter fraud was the reason.
Didn't deny it. Don't deny it.
Just wasn't the "entire formula" for Reid's success. My disdain extends from the gambling industry thru the mechanisms of the Lds church, which invited Harry Reid to speak to all its faculty and students in '07.
Sorry, FRiend...just too many indicators there was Lds support for Reid, even if it was a minority.
Since Lds are 8% of Nevada, all it would take is for 2% of Nevada (1/4th of Mormons) to vote for Reid...and what's 2% of Nevada? Well the U.S. Census Bureau (ttp://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/32000.html) says the 2009 population estimate was 2,643,085...meaning that 1/4th of Nevada Mormons = about 53,000 Nevadans.
Obviously, you need to reduce that 'cause
(1) Not all Mormons were registered to vote; and
(2) Not all registered Mormon voters voted...
But if 55-60% of Mormons voted...and if 25% of them voted for Reid...then Mormons probably gave almost 30,000 votes to Reid easy...(let's say 27,000 - 28,000 to be on the conservative side)
Sorry, FRiend...you just don't crunch numbers very well.
