Who owns the state?  U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) owns the state.  He doesn't appear to be willing to give it up to anyone else any time soon. 

From a story in R-J this morning:

"A permanent change has taken place" among voters, Reid said, including a boost in turnout and Democratic support among Hispanics, and shifts in places such as Nevada's Washoe County, which voted blue this year after 30 years of supporting Republicans.

"This is not going to change," Reid said. "If we do our job by letting the American people know this was not a mandate for the Democratic Party, not a mandate for some ideology, but a mandate to stop the divisiveness and to roll up our sleeves and get some work done ... this is going to resound for years."  

We've been saying it for a while, but now the Associated Press is reporting the red-to-blue shift in Nevada and the reasons behind it.

For the lazy:  U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Searchlight) conducted "two years of massive restructuring" for the Nevada Dems that appears to be paying off.  Democrats now have a formidable advantage in voter registration, turnout, and momentum.

The whole world met Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) this week, and she has instantly energized the GOP base.  But raining on the Nevada Republican Convention parade were the new registration numbers.  They show continued strength for the Nevada Democratic Party, who continues to pull away.  Finally, the Ron Paul Revolution sold out their votes for concert tickets.  Classy. | CLICK HERE
