The victor: Mitt Romney in a resounding win in NevadaMitt Romney won the Nevada caucus very handily Saturday evening. He won Nevada by a double-digit margin. The field will next charge into a quartet of contests which will either fuel or check Romney's momentum, according to Fox News. Newt Gingrich, who appeared to be making a comeback when he won the South Carolina primary a couple of weekends ago, held an unusual press conference late Saturday evening assuring the public he's not dropping out of the race. He also took swipes at Romney while he was at it. The former House Speaker claims his chances should improve the longer the race drags on. He stated he felt by the time the Texas primary rolls around in April, he will be able to claim "frontrunner" status. I say "not a chance Newt." The reason being is because the GOP establishment bosses don't want Gingrich to win the GOP nomination. I believe they have the race fixed for Romney to secure the GOP nomination. That's just my opinion, whatever that's worth.
With 71% of the precincts reporting, Romney was pulling 48% in Nevada, with Gingrich pulling 26%. Rick Santorum had 14% and Ron Paul had 4%. It takes 1144 delegates to win the GOP nomination. The polls showed Romney leading the field by double digits among evengelical Christian caucus-goers. Romney was back by 48% of evangelicals, compared with 27% for Gingrich. Nevada also has several Mormons living in that state.
