The "dead heat" predicted by the Reno Gazette Journal earlier this week is no more, that is if you can believe polls this election season. Plus, the media drags out all the cliches for doing a story on Nevada.
- Reuters deals John Edwards a blow as their Nevada poll shows him a very distant third with just 12%. Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 42% to 37%.
- Mason-Dixon had similar results with Clinton leading 41% to 32% over Obama. Edwards was, again, far back with 14%.
- Unlike Reuters, Mason-Dixon also ventured into the Nevada GOP caucus where it found Mitt Romney favored by 34%. John McCain was second with 19%, Mike Huckabee third at 13%. Fred Thompson polled 8%, Ron Paul 7% and Rudy Giuliani 6%.
- Apparently being on I-80 isn't enough to avoid being called a "Remote Gold Town" by the media. Elko makes it big time with Democratic visits.
- The San Francisco Chronicle goes with the gambling theme in "Play the Slots, Vote for President."
- Ditto Time. Its "Betting Big on Nevada" manages to squeeze "show girls" and "croupiers" into the opening paragraph.
