official Nevada Republican results thread

[Eleden]

First results should be released in about 30 mintues ... And there´s high turnout.

Which Democratic candidate would be aided by a high turnout?

This is hilarious.  If the exit polls are wrong and Paul somehow manages to take first instead of second, my head will implode with the sheer hilarity of the situation.

Big win for Romney, right in McCain's back yard.

Romney is on a roll.

Not really. 20% of the Republican electorate was Mormon and all the Romney had to do was get another 10% and he would have won. Not that big of a win.

It really would not matter to you how Romney wins a caucus or a primary, you and others like you will try to find anything to use as an excuse for you to say Romney did not really have much of a victory.

Yes, according to Bill Schneider, 25% of Republican voters in the caucus are Mormon, although only 12% of the Nevada population overall is Mormon. 

However, Romney also carried the evangelical vote over Huckabee.

Romney coming in with a majority, or a near majority, of the vote is nonetheless a big win.

There's no doubt that this is a great victory for Romney... albeit an expected one.  The only thing I would worry about if I was him, would be these results being overshadowed by South Carolina.
