Mitt Romney Wins Overwhelming Victory In Nevada Caucuses
Dan Balz February 4
LAS VEGAS — Mitt Romney won an overwhelming victory in Saturday’s Nevada caucuses, giving the former Massachusetts governor his second consecutive victory of the year as he tightened his claim to dominant front-runner status in what had been a turbulent Republican presidential race.
After his easy victory in Florida last Tuesday, Romney’s big win in Nevada, where he also won four years ago, will provide additional momentum heading to Tuesday’s caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota and set him up for more significant primaries in Michigan and Arizona at the end of the month. The outcome will increase pressure on his rivals to demonstrate how and where they plan to stop him, if they can.
Romney was far ahead of his closest rivals. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) were battling for second place. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum was running fourth. Turnout was far below the primaries in Florida, South Carolina or New Hampshire and less than in Iowa’s caucuses.
As Romney celebrated his third victory in five contests, his rivals vowed to continue fighting. But the upcoming calendar provides those chasing Romney with significant few opportunities for victory in coming weeks. Gingrich and Santorum each would like to take on Romney without the other draining off conservative votes but neither has shown any interest in bowing to the other. Paul demonstrated again in Nevada that he can do well in caucus states with limited turnout but has yet to show real strength in a big state.
The first weeks of the Republican race have played out at the pace of a sprint. But the primary-caucus calendar slows to a walk in February, before resuming with a flurry of contests on March 6, this...

26% of these voters are mormon or cult members. So they will vote for the other loon in the room. Not a big surprise.
Yep in the real states that are worth winning. Newt has one and Romney has one. Romney looks very weak right now. I think Newt could easily end up winning.
More importantly, you’ll note that of 55,000 people in Carson County, only 1,500 turned out at the caucus?
We need a primary, not a caucus.
One of advantage of being my wife's and my age with friends and relatives across the 57 states can often be an early warning system. What I'm posting below is apparently happening now and across America in so called private discussions from the clergy to their republican members. That audience will be expanded if Mitt becomes our candidate.
If Romney becomes the Republican candidate, our progressive priests/pastors/reverends/rabbis will probably be saying 24/7 Mormonism is a cult not a religion in a non stop manner.
We will hear their own personal observations that Mormonism is not a religion.
In some areas, they are not waiting as they feel that Newt is out of the running.
One conservative female family member in the midwest listened to this cult clap for about 5 minutes from her pastor. Finally, she interupted him and said, "That is another reason we will be nominating Newt!"
She said her pastor about had a Newt induced stroke when she said go Newt!
Have any other Freepers heard this cult stuff coming from a clergy member?
This is the second time I’ve seen this argument. Unless the candidates between the two caucuses are the same, it’s like comparing apples and oranges. There’s a reason the turnout is lower.
There's so much that is wrong with Romneycare and Obamacare.
Attacking Romney on the individual mandate is the least of it. The individual mandate was first proposed by some conservatives in the 90's to compensate for government mandated health treatment for people who were uninsured.
Santorum didn't go for the jugular. A capillary is more like it.
And there's a reason why he did that.
You seem to be confused and Rush and Santorum seem to want to perpetuate that confusion.
Santorum's comments had nothing to do with guaranteed mandated healthcare treatment. Instead Santorum was talking about mandated health insurance.
Do you understand the difference?
Santorum and all the rest of our candidates are for government mandated healthcare treatment.
In fact Santorum contributed to it by voting for government mandated prescription drugs.

Okay...’few opportunities to catch up’...Per the above, Romney got 10 delegates with the rest of the candidates getting altogether 9 delegates. That’s not exactly a huge lead in delegates.
This election is all about the economy and jobs. Why would people choose obama over anyone?
Which is why Perry should have stayed in.
Are you talking about Limbaugh? Because you just exactly described him...
Perry? You mean the REAL conservative guy that never could get any traction among “conservatives”? The one with the conservative track record and experience?
Yep. He should have stuck around. Would be nice to have a conservative choice against Romney.
I agree. That Romney would Nevada was a given given his cultist buddies reside in that state. Now the real primaries will start to take place and we’ll see how everything shapes up.
So please forgive me that I was so slow in seeing through the veil of deception of Rush and Colt-her... The obsession of the pursuit of money does seem to liberalize the brain. Both Rush and Colt-her have joined up with the GOP-Proud establishment as if their claimed conservative credentials would make the ‘Proud’ less exotic...
