1. What's your prediction?

Do you feel good about the state's chances?

2. I can't tell.

I was in a Democratic area. I think that the undecideds really don't want to vote for Bush. I think they might vote for Kerry or stay home. Either one is good for us. They might also protest and vote for Badnerik or Nader. There are other important races in OH. Kerry has a good chance if the feeling I got from undecideds is a statewide trend.

3. If they're undecided at all at this point

I think it's pretty certain they won't want to vote for Bush. Some no doubt will, but I think a majority of them will end up going for Kerry, as is traditional for a challenger against an incumbent. Good news!

Thanks for all your effort! I live in CA, and while it's great to live in a blue state, sometimes I wish I could get out there to the battleground states where my efforts would matter more. Yours are appreciated.

4. I live in NY.

I drove through two blue states to get there. They need help in Nevada. Go to Vegas. Campaign during the day and party at night. The Flamingo is cheap and is supposed to have a killer pool.

5. Wow, I'm really impressed

that's some serious dedication. Actually I did go to Nevada about two months ago with a small group of volunteers. We only got thirty three registrations, but I won $150 in blackjack. Anyway, there were a lot of groups going from California, and now registered Dems outnumber Repukes in the state. Wish I could go more often, but between work and school, I'm just not able to. I think we're going to win Nevada this year. I really do. But it's a small state so we still need one of the big ones like Ohio or Florida. Thanks again for all your hard work.

7. Yep

Not by much, it's still close, but the Dems have something like a 20,000-30,000 advantage I think. Nevada also has a heavy Independent population, so that's a bit of a wild card. But with the whole Yucca Mountain fiasco, Bush is not very popular in Nevada right now. Which is why I think we're going to win it.

9. I really don't know about that.

But judging from the people I talked to, they are very angry with Bush, at least the ones with brains were. I, of course, encountered a few freeper types that think Bush is divine, but they were a minority. To my knowledge, Kerry has come out against Yucca, and said so when he visited there.

10. Thanks for helping us, Bleachers.

We know how tight this race is going to be here in our Buckeye state and we certainly appreciate your effort.
