Easy to say, but how many lifelong Republicans would be able to stomach changing their registration to a D if someone like Ron Paul was running as a D, for whatever reason. That's essentially the challenge to the Dems that are new converts.

Doesn't matter. They need to get over it. No one cares if they are lifelong Republicans or Democrats--associating your life with partisan politics is just sad anyway. Every vote they don't cast for Ron Paul is a vote they're casting for Obama or Obama 2.0. Period. I personally don't give a damn about irrational egos or pride; I give a damn about not seeing the country I live in implode upon itself.

Regarding the Republicans vs Democrats meme. It's a joke, it's an illusion, it's a pathetic charade. The Independent group has grown leaps and bounds. I don't care much for the current state of affairs, but the future looks bright!

Everybody who is going to vote in the day caucus has either already voted or is in the process of voting. The caucus started at 9 pm. However, we do need to get the armchair people to show up to the sundown caucus.

Everyone in Nevada for Paul PLEASE come out and vote. This is very, very close!!!

Those 9,000 votes in Clark are more than any other votes we've seen so far.

I'm glad someone else is as confused as I am.

Can someone confirm that these numbers are accurate? Last I heard, numbers could not be released until all the voting was complete. I guess it doesn't matter since for these caucuses everyone has to get there at the same time.

None of these numbers are official. They are just tweets (rumors) from each precinct caucus.

Here's the way it works this time, near as I can figure. At 9AM there were caucuses for each individual precinct. The straw vote is made public for each of those precincts at their caucus. At these caucuses, party business is also handled, and delegates to the various county conventions are chosen.

Now, there are a couple of exceptions going on here. First of all, Carson City (the Capitol district) is essentially holding a primary... an all day, vote-and-go caucus. That closes at 5 PM I think, and I don't know how they choose county delegates.

Also, in Clark County, there is at least one (and maybe a couple) twilight caucuses, ostensibly for the Adventists and Orthodox Jews who couldn't otherwise vote because of the Sabbath. Those votes, if I understand correctly, will count towards the straw vote, but not towards delegate selection, as the caucuses are not held on a precinct-by-precinct basis.

That how I think it works. YMMV

Romney got 13,000 votes from clark county in 08, which was good for nearly 60% of the vote there

One thing we need to consider: The possible impact of the Sharron Angle endorsement kicking in for Rick Santorum and carrying him to...8%.

 

[pauliticalfan]

We got 12% and second in Clark in 2008, and finished second and with 14% statewide. If the rural areas come through, we might be able to get second this time around as well.

I think we'll get second, have to see how the rurals seem to be voting.

Thank you for clarifying this for everybody. For Carson City, the delegates were selected this morning right?
