Low Turnout on the Strip

LAS VEGAS -- Check out the Strip by the numbers. The developing storyline here on Las Vegas Boulevard is terrible turnout. State party officials expected around 5,000 for the nine at-large casino sites on the Strip. Results from these five suggest it's not even close:

  • Flamingo: 121 to 120, Clinton wins
  • New York, New York: 93 to 69, Clinton wins
  • Paris: 213 to 98, Clinton wins
  • Wynn: 189 to 187 (supposed to be the biggest at-large site -- 1,000 were expected), Clinton wins
  • Obama won Caesars: 82 to 79.

    "The Luxor site is closely divided and voting again. No word from New York New York," reports The Las Vegas Sun.

    Bad news. The only way for democrats to lose in 2008 is to nominate Hillary Clinton. Republican turnout will be through the roof, Dem turnout will be low.
    Thanks for nothing, Nevada. Same to you, NH.

    Most of the "Obama Republicans" must have been at the craps tables.

    LOL! Someone call ICE, Now! Seems there are possibly way more than just 50% illegals working those jobs!

    Hey Obasama-Bad news, your Base can't Vote!

    Then, the ones that legally can, are tired of your base competing with them!

    Let's see.

    The union leadership appearently didn't get what the union members got, that Obama is anti Union.
    That and Obama's voter intimidation cost Obama.

    Go Reagan,says Barack
