Early vote a bad omen for Harry Reid

In Nevada's prime swing county, Republicans are significantly outpacing Democrats in early-voting turnout, according to official statistics — a potential sign of difficulty for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as he attempts to rally his base for his tough contest with Republican Sharron Angle.

Some 47 percent of early voters in Reno's bellwether Washoe County so far have been Republicans, while 40 percent have been Democrats, according to the Washoe County Registrar. Nearly 11,000 people had voted in Washoe over the first three days of early voting, which began Saturday.

Voter registration in the county is evenly split, 39 percent to 39 percent. The disproportionate turnout is a concrete indication of the Republican enthusiasm that is expected to portend a nationwide GOP wave.

In Nevada's large, urban Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, nearly 47,000 votes were cast in the first three days. The voters were 46 percent Democrats, 39 percent Republicans, according to the Clark County Election Department. But while Democrats make up 46 percent of the county's registered voters, Republicans constitute just 33 percent — another sign Republicans are voting out of proportion to their numbers.

yep.  that's the game the administration has been playing.  scare the shit out of the voters about the other guys so the voters will vote for you.  I can't help but wonder if they have played this card one time too many.  reid, pelosi, and obama ALL got put into power by running against george bush and scare mongering about republicans.  that's bound to be a dry well by now.

the GOP has been little more than a speed bump since the obamagastic election.  I don't think anyone is very scared of them right now.  I think a lot of people are afraid of what the dems will nationalize next.

I seem to remember some  guy -- I think his name was Steele. Remington Steele? No, sorry, that was a TV show. Bob Steele? No, that ain't right either....MICHAEL Steele! That's it!

This is the turd that relegates himself to doing bus tours to badmouth Nancy Pelosi. What a tard. A complete tard. Ineffective, unseen, and definitely not heard.

I guess you can't **** up if you don't do anything. That's Mikey for us.

I mailed my own ballot on October 4, which is the earliest day we can vote by mail. Most everyone I know has already voted as well.

Now, I am actually on the fence about mail in ballots. I selfishly do it because it's convenient, and I don't have to worry about driving to the voting booth, etc., and it's real easy to do. Postage is even free. To me, it's a no brainer, and frankly, I advocate all individuals to consider that option.

HERE IS MY CONCERN: The socialists have not yet figured out that they can actually use mail-in ballots to their advantage. There is very little ID checking, and there is even a potentiality of far greater voter fraud; frankly, I'm amazed that it hasn't happened yet on a large degree. I'm sure some minor incidents have happened, but let's face it: If I were a student and a lib, I could actually get a lot of people to vote who otherwise wouldn't have voted for the bad guys, and legalities would be subverted in many cases. I can give several examples (but not in public; I don't want the DUmmies to see this).

So are absentee ballots a good thing, or not? Discuss...
