Nevada

Outlook: Toss Up

5 Electoral Votes (5 in 2000)
Bush won in 2004 by 2.59%

Like its western neighbors New Mexico and Colorado, Nevada could be in play in 2008. With one Democrat (Majority Leader Harry Reid) and one Republican in the Senate, two Republicans and one Democrat in the House, a Republican governor, a Democratic state House, and a Republican state Senate, Nevada is obviously very split politically. Whichever presidential candidate sees the split come out in their favor will be the beneficiary of the Silver State’s five electoral votes.
