In an encouraging sign Barack Obama can play successfully in the swing states, it's being reported there's a very large uptick in Democratic Party registration. In FloridaDemocratic voters have out-registered Republicans by a nearly 7-to-1 margin since January. In Nevada: Nevada is also trending toward the Democrats. At this point in the 2004 election, Republicans had a narrow edge in party registration, but the latest figures show the Democrats with a 55,000-voter advantage. That's significant considering Bush won Nevada by only 21,000 votes in 2000 and 2004. (Link) Senator McCain is putting a lot of eggs in the Florida basket and a loss there would be very damaging. A loss in Nevada, bordering McCain's home state Arizona, would be an embarrassing blow to his campaign. |
