Title: Can Romney break 50% in Nevada?
Post by: 5280 on March 22, 2012, 08:07:03 PM
McCain only got 42% of the vote in 2008 for NV, could Romney break 50% or even come close in 2012?

What? Of course not.  Look at the polls.

Yes we can.

Nevada voters care about jobs too.

Maybe, unless people like to sit around all day and expect more hope and change for another 4 years.  Food stamp president isn't helping out much.

Sure they care. But the NV voters that the DNC and their corrupt cartels round up in the cities that are manipulated, apathetic and sometimes non-existant don't. So the Obama machine will win. Could the Obama candidate? Not sure.

Off topic, but I am puzzled why Romneybots think he would create jobs......his record says other wise.

Of course he can. Anything can happen, you know. :P The questions are, will he break 50% (No, probably not at this point) and how does he go about changing that? (Already answered that yesterday).

Which is why they will come home for the only candidate who has presided over twenty-four successive months of private-sector job growth.

Sure if Mittens is carrying the nation over Obama by 2%-3%. Then Mittens would probably break 50% of the whole, beating Obama in Nevada by say 50% to 48%. If.

Unless you assume a national percentage break, these individual state breaks may be fun, but hardly revealing of your underlying assumptions.

Obama won 55% of the vote in NV, Romney would need a 10% uniform swing in his favor.  That would put Romney at 52% and Obama at 45%.

NHI, how could you possibly like that silly quote in your signature?

Not with his pitiful lack of organization in the state, he won't.  Perhaps I should remind you that Obama just opened his sixth campaign HQ in Nevada a few weeks ago.  Romney still has just one, and they don't seem to have been doing very much since the caucuses.

Okay, so he's still campaigning for the nomination.  I get that.  But Obama has quite the headstart.

Oh, and then there's the heavy Dem trend in NV, too.  Probably quite important.
