I will say it right now: Nevada is off the table.

[RandySF]

I don't know why the MSM is calling it a battleground state at this point. All the data I've seen indicate that it's pretty darn blue. Anyone disagree?

[porphyrian]

1. The MSM is still pretending there is a horse race to profit from campaign money. Pay them no heed.

The President is all over this one.

[SuperSmooth]

2. Maybe maybe not.. i would not want Obama to stop his push there

This difference is within the margin of error and considering Nevada's unemployment rate i am not sure i would agree with you.

3. Harry Reid

Thankfully we have Harry Reid over there. Obama's team + Harry's machine, I'm confident we'll have Nevada.

4. I'd say

NV and OH are polling pretty similarly. The funny thing is OH may not be the horserace the media implies. Mitt has never had an RCP average lead in OH.

5. uh, well, Obama did campaign out there a few weeks ago.

There must be some data that they saw which precipitated that visit.

10. The president

Stopped in California to campaign last week. Did he also see some data there?

6. Unfortunately it mostly serves as

a back up for Iowa or as part of the Doomsday scenario (loss of FL, OH, NC, and VA) but you can still win with MI, PA, WI, CO, IA, NV, and NH.

Other combinations:

MI, PA, VA, NV, IA, WI and NH

MI, PA, NC, CO, NV, and NH

You want to win every state, but OH is the key Without that Romney cannot win, and it is the most likely of the key states to fall. Lots of combinations work with it

MI, PA, OH, WI or CO, IA or NV for example. With the loss of OH Romney would be liminted in what is left

NH, WI, and CO
NH, CO, NV, and IA
WI and two others not including NH (IA, CO, and NV)

The IA an WI polls are devastating to him. He has no option but to pull all four of the big states (FL, OH, NC, and VA).

7. From what I have seen on "news" this morning I realize

the MSM is going for the brass ring for Romney. Chuck Toad is the main varmint in this mess.

[demlion]

8. Nevada has been done for weeks. Denial and ratings are the only reasons it is still mentioned as a

battleground

[hrmjustin]

9. I would say that NV is a firewall for Obama due to the registration advantage that dems have.
