Nevada has changed dramatically in the past 20 years, mostly for the worse.

Looking at Nevada's history though, it has picked the winner in every presidential election since 1980.

Nevada has long had status as a POTUS bellwether.

1976 was in fact the first time since 1908 it picked the loser.

Nevada had been close from 1992-2004 but in 2008 Osama won it by 12.5 points, his national margin was 7.27%. We gained a US house seat but 2010 also could have gone much better for the GOP there. A bad candidate can be blamed for the US Senate loss but not the failure to take back the State Senate or losses in 4 of 6 statewide offices (GOP won Governor over Reid’s clown son and the incumbent LT Governor won reelection).

It might now be a little more rat than the country at large.
