Mitt Romney Wins Nevada GOP Caucuses, Scoring Back-to-Back Victories

Saturday, January 19, 2008

Mitt Romney won the Nevada Republican caucuses Saturday, scoring dramatic

back-to-back victories in the race for the nomination.

Early returns showed him taking 55 percent in the state, followed by John

McCain with 13 percent, Ron Paul with 12 percent, Mike Huckabee with 7

percent, Fred Thompson with 7 percent, Rudy Giuliani with 4 percent and

Duncan Hunter with 1 percent.

The former Massachusetts governor's campaign released a statement Saturday

claiming the Nevada win helps solidify his status as a change candidate.

"Today, the people of Nevada voted for change in Washington. For far too

long, our leaders have promised to take the action necessary to build a

stronger America, and still the people of Nevada and all across this country

are waiting. Whether it is reforming health care, making America energy

independent or securing the border, the American people have been promised

much and are now ready for change," he said.

Romney was one of the few Republicans with any campaign presence in the

state, as his top competitors stayed in South Carolina ahead of its

influential first-in-the-South primary the same day. Paul was airing

television ads in Nevada, and Romney left South Carolina to make a final

push in the state Thursday.

Romney stressed his economic plans in Nevada, as he did in Michigan before

winning there Tuesday. A day after President Bush called for a stimulus

package worth up to $150 billion, Romney issued a plan of his own calling

for a reduction in the lowest income tax bracket, tax cuts for working

seniors and tax-free savings for the middle class.

Campaigning in Columbia, S.C., Thompson teased Romney when he heard the news

of his Nevada victory.

"Imagine that! Glad he could pull one out," Thompson said.

But in a race with no clear frontrunner, Romney has defended his

against-the-grain strategy, saying he could stomach a loss South Carolina.

He's cast his campaign as a quest for convention delegates and was looking

to reinforce that tally in Nevada, which offers more delegates than South

Carolina.

Romney said in Reno Friday, "I love the entire country. I'm not leaving off

any part of the country. I'm campaigning in 50 states, not in two or

three. . Right now, we've had four contests and I've got two golds and two

silvers. That's a pretty good medal count if you're an Olympian."

Romney also won the Wyoming caucuses. He was headed to Florida later

Saturday to campaign ahead of its Jan. 29 primary.

Polls in South Carolina don't close until 7 p.m. The race there is shaping

up to be a battle between Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucuses, and McCain,

who won the New Hampshire primary.

A recent FOX News poll showed McCain holding a healthy lead in South

Carolina. He took 27 percent in the poll, followed by Huckabee at 20

percent, Romney at 15 percent and Thompson at 11 percent.

But the poll showed the race could go either way, since one in five likely

voters in South Carolina were undecided going into the primary.

The results from Nevada's Democratic caucuses aren't expected until later in

the afternoon.

Ron Paul came in second, not McCain that is with 99% of precincts

reporting.

Yep, I just saw the results with 100% in and RP got 14% and McAmnesty got

13%

I'm considering this an Anti-Amnesty vote.
