Northern Nevada Women for Obama participated at the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation run at UNR this Sunday. Women for Obama understand the critical role we play in this election as well as the candidate who is invested in protecting the health and security of our families.
Health care is a central difference between the two tickets. The stakes for reforming America's broken health care system are particularly high for women. The majority of our nations uninsured are women, and women also are the nation's primary caregivers of seniors, Americans with disabilities and children. Obama-Biden will expand quality affordable health care to all and ensure that insurance companies cannot discriminate for pre-existing conditions.
Get involved with women's issues and the Obama campaign by joining the Nevada Women for Obama group. Together, we can help reshape Washington.
On Sunday October 5, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano will campaign for Barack Obama in Reno, holding an economic town hall with Washoe County voters at the University of Nevada, Reno.

1%, or 1 vote out of 100There have been 12 Presidential elections that were decided by less than a 1% margin; meaning if less than 1% of the voters in certain states had changed their mind to the other candidate the outcome of the entire election would have been different. More than half were decided by less than a 2% margin.
In 2004, 57,787 votes would have given us President Kerry.In 2000, 269 votes would have given us President GoreIn 1996, 575,515 votes would have given us President Dole.

=========="Squeakers"Ned PotterABC NewsSeptember 29, 2008How close have Presidential elections been? Closer, perhaps, than we ever guessed. Mike Sheppard, a grad student in statistics at Michigan State, has done a mathematical exercise that shows it.He ran a computer program to answer this question: "What is the smallest number of total votes that need to be switched from one candidate to another, and from which states, to affect the outcome of the election?"The answer: in some years, very, very few. Take a look at his analysis HERE. It shows the powerful interaction between the popular vote and the electoral college.[...]==========

Thousands of supporters joined their neighbors to watch Senator Barack Obama's historic conclusion of the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
David from Reno wrote about his experience:
Last night, the Washoe Democrats gathered at the Flowing Tide in South Reno to watch Barack Obama's nomination for President. They weren't in Denver, but they were a mile high after Obama's rousing speech.The pub was noisy, but nothing could distract the eager Democrats, many of whom had been working for Obama's nomination since the beginning of the primaries and many who had supported Hillary Clinton or John Edwards. There were misgivings. The empty field looked grandiose and already the Republicans were on the attack.Then the stadium filled (a crowd of 75,000) with Democrats united in their desire for change and a hope of renewal. Al Gore warmed the crowd, eloquently contrasting the Democrats' platform with eight years of Republican mismanagement, misjudgment, and malfeasance. I must admit at first we were a bit anxious. But there was no need. Obama laid out the specifics of his vision and then turned to confront John McCain on matters of national security. He reminded his listeners that "patriotism has no party" and that the Democratic Party is the party of FDR and JFK, a party that knows how to defend our country. We were on our feet, anxiety transformed into hope.Then a funny thing happened as I was leaving. An older gentleman approached me, asking if we were a group of Democrats. I said sure, but he was welcome."Well," he said, "I just wanted to tell you I'm voting for Obama and I'm an ex-marine.""Great," I replied, and asked him why."I'm from an army family," he replied, "and I voted for Reagan."Welcome home, Reagan Democrats! Here comes Obama!
