NV CAUCUS-GOERS: Please post your observations / live results in this thread!

[Lord Xar]

@AnjeanetteDamon: Precinct 7731: Paul: 8; Romney: 7; Santorum: 4; Gingrich: 3. #nvcaucus/And another for Paul.

yup. great. we need HUGE turnout for Ron in these precincts.. perception matters!

so these "rural" places...what's the deal on them

So no Google maps this time?

no official results until later, then here: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/vote2012/map/live.html

these are people reporting back from caucus sites on twitter

Of course, this could be anything from a 2 vote lead in a 20 vote precinct to something like 20-100 votes in the lead in a huge precinct.

Still, I think we'll come second. The areas we did best in (eg. Nye) aren't even in yet.

Do you not know how small a county Nye is? We won the entire county by 16 votes. We're losing each of these individual precincts in Washoe by about 80. You have to keep this in perspective.

 

[Kords21]

At least we'll beat Santorum right?

 

[JohnGalt23g]

So naive. Do research on Bev Harris and voter fraud before you formulate opinions.



Appeal to ridicule.

Son, when you've done Nevada politics for a third as long as I have, come talk to me.

Until then, you really don't know what you are talking about.

It looks like we're losing big where the turnout is big..... Hopeful of 2nd, but starting to come to grip with 3rd as more and more big turnout results give us massive deficit.

 

[TheGrinch]

So do bromides. Perhaps you'd care to name names?

That you expect some internet commentors to know who might be committing fraud is absurd, when we're purely speculating... Why would you expect us to name names...

Okay, so you said you know the peopl,e running the caucus, how about you call them up and find out why a van full of votes was brought into a gated community. If none of your friends were involved in that, then well, we're not talknig about them.

99% of the people involved can be good people, but it only takes a corrupt 1% with the means to fudge it...

But nobody is saying with any certainy that is what is going in here, but if you don't think there are powerful interests that do what they can to influence elections (a most recent example would be a whole bunch of dead people who somehow voted for Gingrich in SC), and if you can't see that the powerful interests have already been doing everything they can to stop the anti-establishment candidate, then I'm sorry, you haven't been paying attention.

Latest from field: Romney holding at 60, but likely to go down a bit. Near tie for 2nd. Watch Elko, Nye: Paul will do well there. #nvcaucus

There's still hope for 2nd yet. Gingrich trading way too high on Intrade IMO at 78%.

If Paul can win big over Newt in some of those rural areas, he will get second. Neither likely to get to 20, but might be close. #nvcaucus

Taking his word for it. Come on rural folks, come through for us.

 

[PaleoPaul]

We came in third in Washoe and second in Clark last time.

WE MUST FINISH IN SECOND PLACE IN CLARK.

They are counties in the middle of nowhere. In some counties, it might take a couple of hours to drive the results from the location to the GOP HQ in the county.

 

[No Free Beer]

In this race? Damn little. Newt doesn't have people in place to commit it, and Romney has already won.

If the people who are in a position to do such a thing were so inclined, it would be to push Gingrich down. Not up. Down.

And nobody is going to take a chance at tossing their career, and going to a Nevada penitentiary, over a second place finish nobody with any power in the state cares about.

If you find yourself thinking they would... loosen the tin foil.

I didn't nec mention Nevada, even though this thread is about NV.

Are you telling me that there was no possible fraud in IA?

sounds like a buying opportunity.

Who gives a shit about Intrade.

That accounted for 5000 votes.

No

Possible

I don't know if he is, but I am. And if there was it had absolutely no bearing on the delegate counts.
