On the day Gov. Sarah Palin comes to visit the Alaska and Juneau of the lower 48 — Nevada has lots of hunters and anti-abortionists and Carson City is the state capital, too — there is mixed news about the GOP ticket’s chances here. The Democrats are surging in registration, with no end in sight — they lead by 70,000 statewide and an amazing 100,000 in Clark County. But Palin’s entrance into the mix may have helped push Nevada down a bit in the weekly battleground state analysis by The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza. Nevada has fallen from second most likely to go from red to blue to third, partly because “the Western appeal of the McCain/Palin ticket should not be overlooked.” The appeal will get its first test today.
