Dr. Frank Luntz and his focus group of Nevada Democratic primary voters watched Tuesday night's debate and were most impressed with John Edwards. But things got heated over the contested issue of using casinos as caucus venues.

      Frank is one of the most fair minded individuals in the media. He kind of doesn't remind me of Propeller.

    I am more interested in the fact that in a state where Hillary was the only one on the ballot she only got 55% of the Democrat vote. That does not bode well in the General. Both Hillary, and Barak Hussein Obama are too liberal to be electable in November. What are the Democrats thinking?

      I don't have a clue about what the dems are thinking, but Hillary has got to be aware of her baggage and her extremely HIGH negative ratings.

      LOL-Why wouldn't we use a casino, aren't we "gambling" now:)

      And you maybe would prefer another 'compassionate conservative' who will finish Bush's job of destroying this country both militarily and economically so that his buddies in some key industries can continue to reap obscene profits.

      Democrats are thinking enough of that already. If we could have avoided the deficit spending by Reagan and every republican that followed him we would have little if any national debt compared to the almost 10 trillion we now have.

          Don't read it will hurt your eyes.

          you have to save your eyes to make sure you don't nominate McCain and to make sure you help spread whatever venom the Republicans will have against him, and then against the Democratic nominee. Because, after all, they know no other way.

          Boy, will you people be confused if McCain gets the nomination..

          They haven't built a bridge big enough for all of you to jump from!

        They shouldn't use casinos for caucus venues. They are disenfranchising all the gambling addicts in Nevada. How can you ask a man or a woman to go do their civic duty in a place that will lure them into their own personal demise? They wouldn't hold a caucus in a bar, or a tobacco plant. Why are they discriminating against gamblers? What are they afraid of? Not to mention they will be disenfranchising little old ladies with handbags full of nickels. They'll get in the door and then see the slots and that'll be it. How can they vote when they have a 1 in 1,484,395,599,494 chance of wining $1000? This is their retirement plan, how can you expect them to vote too? What kind of trick do the Dems think they are pulling here?

          Good points on casinos. As we all know they have a tendency to use whatever they (dems and republicans) need to get elected. Ever noticed how they scream separation of church and state but they all speak at church services on the campaign trail?

          That is what I am wondering about. Don't many states close the bars, at least while the balloting is going on. Chicago used to give the Homeless $2. bucks and a baloney sandwich, but they couldn't buy a drink until 7 PM. Now they give them $5.

            They don't need to give you a bologna sandwich because you are so full of it you can give it out to the entire west coast.

              Idaho has a no liqueur sales on election day law. Apparently there are six other states where that was a problem too.

              Well I guess using the casinos to vote in are ok. Might as well get a clue to how the democrats will screw you out of your money first hand.

                  Why do you still defend the rich, big business polluters who have destroyed this country's American Dream??

                  Are you one of them, or is it just that you believe their lies and are afraid of the Democrats because you don't understand what they are saying??

                  At this point it is pretty rare to find more 'stay the coursers' and "the economy is great" fools..

                  You may be a white Anglo, but how does it feel to be a self imposed minority now?

                  I'm just fascinated at the interaction between the voters in the focus group. They were very engaged and I appreciated that. Do you think they were representative of America as a whole as far as being fired up about this election and caring about who gets into office? I do. : )

                    I was fascinated to Alpha about the interaction, but as for America as a whole being fired up?I think people "care" who gets elected, but I think Americans as a whole really aren't engaged yet(based on past voter turnouts in the finals) plus the election being so long.

                    I think most Americans are just looking at the evening news as yet and will tune into debates when the crowd gets thinner or pay more attention when their State comes up.

                    I'd be REAL curious about the TV ratings on the debates so far.

                      Engaged?? THEY WERE TRAINED SEALS!

                      They all raised their hands simultaneously, they all

                      responded with the same "impressions" of the debate, and they all supported McCain in September (even though the entire nation believed that Ron Paul won the debate)and

                      Romney in January, even though he lost to McCain in his neighboring state.

                      can't you see a hack when it is in front of your nose, or does he have to fall from the sky and land on your head??

                      It is obvious who paid for those "un"-focus groups..

                    I dont really understand how voting works in a casino. Do you walk in put your quarter in the machine and pull the handle? The wheels roll up and if you get your guy three wheels in a row your vote goes to him?
