RSSMitt Romney Appears to be Coasting to Big Victory in Nevada Republican Caucuses (UPDATE: Romney Wins Nevada)
Mitt Romney cruising to easy win in Nevada …
With early results being counted in the Nevada Republican Caucuses, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney appears well on his way to an easy and overwhelming majority victory in Nevada. According to CNN, with 3% reporting, Romney 52%, Paul 20%, Gingrich 19% and Santorum at 9%, Romney will win gig in Nevada with Gingrich a distant second and possible third. Although, Ron Paul has already left Nevada and is in Minnesota giving speeches. What’s up with that?
Looks like Romney will win by this much
Mitt Romney is actually doing better than pre-Caucus polling. In 2008, Romney won the Nevada Caucus with 51.1% of the vote.
UPDATE I: The following is quite amazing for Romney, if the majority voting margin continues … as per the AP, Conservatives accounted for about 4 in 5 voters in the Nevada Caucus and around 3 in 4 Nevada voters said they were tea party supporters.
UPDATE II: 10% reporting, Romney 48%, Paul 21%, Gingrich 20%, and Santorum 11%.
What is interesting is that it looks like Nevada will be the second state in a row that dispels Gingrich’s theory that Santorum needs to get out of the race to consolidate the conservative vote against Romney to win. That was not the case in Florida and certainly not in Nevada. So far Gingrich + Santorum only equals 33%. That is 15% less that Romney’s totals so far tonight.
UPDATE III: CNN Calls Nevada for Romney.

First of all, any GOP candidate would be better in the White House than the socialist clown in there now. What floors me is why a Mormon is getting so close to the nomination? As the Muslems who believe anyone not in their religion isi an infidel (really true..just most aren’t so radical about bringing about violence) the Mormons believe that unless you follow their ideas of what it takes to “get to heaven” you aren’t going. So…why is a country who claims to be mostly Christian going to put another person in office who isn’t even Christian? Befuddles me.
