NYT Admits: Obama Crowds Not Impressive

What band was playing;

Excellent question. He had to bring Bruce Springsteen with him to fill a 2500 seat venue here.

You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college.

Meanwhile king BOZerO blows a ton of US taxpayer cash on his trips to sin city.

Why does Obambi keep heading to Las Vegas?

bambi and rupaul cross dress each other and go clubbing at the fag joints.

Isn’t Boulder to Colorado as Austin is to Texas?

Don’t forget that the Democrats’ most reliable voters don’t go to rallies. They just leave their graves long enough to vote.

Remind me again about how this election business works.

Do we pick the president based on how many people show up at rallies?

Or does that voting stuff still have something to do with it??

Excellent question. He had to bring Bruce Springsteen with him to fill a 2500 seat venue here.

How sad for both Springsteen and Soetoro. There was a time when 50,000 people would show up to see either of them. Now both of them together at the same venue can only draw a crowd of 2,500? That's some industrial-strength shark-jumpin' humiliation right there.

...and why did mhe go to Boulder? He’s got that town locked up tighter than Fort Knox.

I guess he needed the a shot of adoration.

Through eleven days of early voting in Nevada, the huge lead that the Democrats were supposed to run up has not materialized. In fact, the GOP has cut substantially into Democrats’ margins, positioning Mitt Romney for victory on Tuesday. After the first few days of early voting, Democrats and their pundit pals were crowing, but their big talk is not matched by the numbers. Despite all the chatter from the Obama campaign about voter registration, Republicans have turned out a larger share of our newly registered voters in absentee and early voting while Democrats are just turning out the same old Election Day voters.
In order for GOP candidates to win in Nevada, we must do four things: cut into Democrats’ margins in Clark County, win Washoe County, drive up turnout in rural Nevada, and win independents. All four things are happening. Let’s take a look:
Clark County
Republicans narrowed the gap on early voting in Clark County by almost 9 points compared to 2008. (Republicans up 3.4%, Democrats down 5.4%.) Republicans have experienced 33 percent growth in Clark County early voters compared to this point in 2008, adding over 27,000 voters to our total. Democrats have grown by less than 8 percent, adding fewer than 12,000 voters to their total. Republicans are on pace to come out of Clark County early voting down fewer than 60,000 votes out of nearly 470,000 cast. This is a huge shift from 2008, where Republicans trailed by nearly 84,000 votes out of only 390,000 cast. It also is far short of what pundits like Nevada politics guru Jon Ralston predicted.
Washoe County
Republicans narrowed the gap on early voting in Washoe County by 14 points compared to 2008. (Republicans up 6.3%, Democrats down 7.7%.) Republicans have experienced 66 percent growth in Washoe County early voters compared to this point in 2008, adding nearly 13,000 voters to our total. Democrats have grown by less than 18 percent, adding barely 5,000 voters to their total. Currently the Democrats hold a slight edge in early vote and absentee returns in Washoe, but we’ve cut into their gains every day and anticipate overtaking them by the end of early voting. In 2008 we did not win a single day of early voting; this year we are poised to win overall.
Rural Nevada
Early voting turnout is up compared to 2008 in rural Nevada, which is strongly Republican. Turnout is already over 116 percent of 2008 early voting in the small rural counties of Eureka and Pershing. Altogether, through the first ten days of early voting, turnout in rural Nevada was already 83 percent of 2008. The final days of early voting are the strongest for Republicans and have the largest turnout overall.
Independents
Over 82,000 independents have already voted or have ballots in hand. PPP (10/24) shows Romney leading among independents by 9 points.
Election Day
Republicans’ dominance on Election Day, through the 72-Hour Program, will put us over the top. In 2012, Romney Victory volunteers have already knocked on nearly 600,000 doors and called over 1.8 million targeted voters – twice as many phone calls and seven times as many door knocks as were done at this point four years ago.
Beyond our superior program, we will be well-positioned to turn out more voters on Election Day because there will be more Republican likely voters to turn-out. Democrats have cannibalized their most likely voters to try to maintain their margins in early voting. Through eleven days of early voting, over 57 (!!) percent of Democrats who voted in all four of the last four general elections had already requested an absentee ballot or voted early. That means Republicans have 30 percent more of our most reliable voters still available on Election Day, which will put even more power into our already-dominant 72-Hour Program.
In short, the GOP is meeting or exceeding all metrics to be successful on Election Day in Nevada, and with enthusiasm on our side we are feeling confident that Mitt Romney is positioned to take Nevada’s electoral votes on Tuesday.

It may be in play but for four lousy EC votes. Vegas is a long plane ride from any other swing state.
