Romney was a clear, huge winner in Nevada today, with 52% of the vote, helped by one of the largest populations of Mormons in any state outside of Utah.

A big surprise is what looks like a second place finish for Ron Paul,with 14% ahead of John McCain, with 13%, and with Huckabee and Thompson each with 8% and Giuliani with 4%.

52% of Republican voters were male.

Hillary Clinton defeated Obama in Nevada, in a close race, pulling 51% to Obama's 45%. Among Nevada Democratic voters, 59% were women, and the 68% of them were over 45-- both demographics that favored Clinton.

John Edwards pulled 4% of the vote.

While Clinton grabbed the psychological "win" she actually won one less electoral vote. Obama got 13 to Hillary's 12.

John McCain won the GOP race in South Carolina with 33%, followed by Huckabee with 30%, Thompson 16%, Romney out of the "medals" in 4th place, with 15%, Paul with 4%, Giuliani with 2%.

McCain got 19 delegates (exceeding the 18 Romney won in NV,) Huckabee got 5 and the rest got none.

This race is still wide open and looking more and more like it could end up decided at the convention.

If It Was Kucinich

If it was Kucinich who had come in 2nd behind Hillary and he had a $20 plus million campaign fund with an army of antiwar pro peace voters behind him, and Ron Paul was gasping for a break into the GOP debates and MSM items, I would support Kucinich, despite the fact I do not agree with Kucinich on all his issues, especially his stand with the UN Agenda 21 I would give PEACE a chance.

Paul in Nevada

Look at vote totals for Obama, Clinton, Romney, and Paul in Nevada. Take the vast organizational resources of the mormon church out of the picture (They will do whatever their church leaders tell them to do) and it's a dead heat between Paul and both democratic frontrunners.

I can't wait to see how mainstream, corporately controlled media will continue to ignore and exclude Paul.

Is Hillary qualified to be President re 22 Amendment?

How is it that Bill Clinton, having served his two constitutionally allowed terms, can campaign to get his wife and himself back in the White House? Didn’t the Clintons keep saying that his Presidency was a twofer -- a two-for-one Presidency? Does that mean that they can be elected to a second two-for-one Presidency? Sounds like a Banana Republic to me.

John Edwards pulled 4% of the vote

I would just like to point out that when dealing with caucuses we are not dealing with "votes." These are delegates. "John Edwards pulled 4% of delegates" is how that should read. We don't know how many candidates would have voted for any candidate in Nevada because, like Iowa, it has a completely undemocratic caucus system that deprives Americans of actually voting. The concept of "one man, one vote" is completely out the window.
