Harry Reid can now legitimately boast about boosting the Nevada economy. As reported by the WSJ, hundreds of Democratic congressional aides, operatives and lobbyists have traveled to the state to help with an all-out get-out-the-vote effort.

Reid supporters, including multiple labor unions and about 30 aides to Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, are canvassing neighborhoods, making sure likely voters get to precincts for early voting and organizing get-out-the-vote efforts to help Mr. Reid in his tight contest against Republican Sharron Angle.

In contrast, the Republican National Committee is relying mostly on volunteers along with Rovian operative efforts.

Among Rove’s strategies is the use of the same Apple iPhone application that helped Scott Brown defeat Martha Coakley in Massachusetts. Based on data already collected, the application tells canvassers which houses in a given neighborhood are the best targets. The operatives then ask residents whether they plan to vote for Angle or Reid. That data is uploaded to a database that Rove’s group American Crossroads is compiling, not just for purposes of influencing the Nevada senate race but also in preparation for 2012.
