Looking at Nye and Storey counties, I think we have a chance!

I just saw that! Looks very promising

Paul: 13,31%
McCain: 12,87%

I haven't run the numbers, but, technically, if McCain gets 13.4% and Paul gets 13.6%, they should be reported as 13% and 14% respectively. It doesn't really need to be a full 1% spread. I feel silly even mentioning it, but you're right about the way it would be reported, as a "statistical tie." However, when the difference between 1st and 2nd place is only 1 vote, that is never called a "tie." Why should a 200 vote difference (or less) between 2nd and 3rd be called a "tie"?

You're right on this for any OTHER candidate, but the MSM is at war with the RP campaign so don't expect them to represent the truth.

I just asked the same thing...sorry.

Paul 13,41%
It will be VERY CLOSE, but we may be able to make it!

When total votes are in, that will be somewhere around 47,000
If that was the case, then 1% would be 470.

To go ahead of McCain, we need to beat him by 1% of the total votes.

McCain is at 12.75% and Paul at 13.72%, according to NVGOP's latest totals. At this point, 1% of the vote = ~442 votes.
