Mitt Romney and Republicans lose Nevada
bykos

..........................


Romney won 50.1 percent of 32,894 votes cast.

There are 471,292 registered Republicans in Nevada.

That means that Romney garnered the support of 3.5 percent of them. Not exactly lighting it up, is he?

It wasn't just Romney who generated no excitement in Nevada. The entire GOP field was a disaster.

Mitt Romney’s easy victory in Nevada’s Republican presidential caucuses might, in the long run, be less important than the fact that a surprising number of Republicans who could have participated Saturday chose to stay home.

Republicans’ disappointing turnout foreshadows difficulty energizing GOP voters in Nevada, a key swing state in November’s general election.

Turnout was unlikely to match 2008, when 44,000 Republicans participated in Nevada’s caucuses.

2. Isn't it funny how this got no attention? This is GREAT news!

This is what we want, hope for, pray for, and desperately need! DEMORALIZED voter base among the bad guys. We WANT them disenchanted and unexcited about their uninspiring elitist, one-percenter, out-of-touch candidate!
