It is incredible how a few thousand people can somehow change perceptions. Turnout was very low in Nevada, some people were actually turned away from voting, Romney won fewer counties than he did in '08 and will have fewer votes than he did then, yet somehow this is a great victory that changes minds and gives him momentum?

Couldn't agree more. But the story is the media. It hypes this stuff out of all reasonable proportions. And donors watch the media. Strange democracy we have.

Perhaps the real story in the long run will be Republican apathy and disarray in a swing state that Obama could easily take again. It will be on the list of 8-10 places Obama campaigns in the most this year.
