so, john, meanwhile, let s talk nevada. how did the senator pull out this come-from-behind victory? reporter: well, the democratic machine here is alive and well. there was pre-obits written about the read machine, the democratic machine named for the late senator harry reid. they ran a mail-ballot campaign that turns out to put her over the top. she is leading by 6,500 votes. she was a much better candidate than candidate laxalt. candidates still matter. she went out and did what she had to do being there in the last month of the campaign, coalescing the hispanic vote she really needed and has been key in nevada elections. and her media campaign for laxalt as an opponent of an abortion, election denier and as a carpet bagger proved effective. and, john, in nevada, let s
