Since 2008 was such a debacle....people assumed the same thing this year when no one was given information on when and where the caucus was in their towns. If they DID find out it was 9AM on a Sat..... many people with kids couldn't make it as well as many casino workers were left not knowing anything or unable to take part...and hence why any local media caucus footage I saw here in Reno... 90% of the participators were over age 60!

A close friend is a Rep Party volunteer and said flat out that it seemed to her that 'some' people of certain candidates were told places and times and other people for other candidates did not get the information until the last minute....leaving her to think the Rep Party wanted to skew the votes a particular way. She said there was a lot of things done behind close doors...whereas it wasnt done like that in the past....

Its interesting too that state officials came out blantantly saying that the state was 'too cheap' to pay for a primary so we get a crappy caucus instead..... Democracy at its finest.....

Results for Nevada Republican Caucus (U.S. Presidential Primary)
Feb 04, 2012 (71% of precincts reporting)

Mitt Romney 11,822 47.6%
Newt Gingrich 5,623 22.7%
Ron Paul 4,619 18.6%
Rick Santorum 2,749 11.1%
Other 0 0%

Just because 12,000 or so mormon cultists in Nevada voted for their high priest doesn’t mean he is the nominee.

This is a WAR, and will be fought one battle at a time.

Bishop Romney is running out of mormon states.

Good. Why should the taxpayers get stuck paying for what is an internal party function?

There is no excuse for such disarray.
