LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada Republicans early Monday released the final results of their Saturday morning caucuses.

As projected, Mitt Romney easily won for a second time after his 2008 victory in the state. Romney finished with 50 percent.

Newt Gingrich came in second with 21.1 percent, edging out Ron Paul who had 18.7 percent. Paul won second place in Nevada in 008.
Rick Santorum finished last with 9.9 percent.

The results came nearly two days after voters began casting ballots Saturday morning.

GOP officials blamed the delay on voting discrepancies and the old-fashioned voting method of handwritten ballots.

GOP executive director David Gallagher says representatives from each of the campaigns approved the counting process.

Only 32,963 voters participated in the caucuses, far short of the 44,000 Republicans who voted in the 2008 GOP caucuses.

It doesn't matter if "we" support them. They have to be able to stand up to the media. Once the general election starts the MSM will attack so hard that their own mother would hesitate before voting for them. Last time we "opened a vein and voted for McCain" but is was far from enough. Can't operate like that anymore. The enemy of freedom in this country has become the news media.

A Win is a Win is a Win. Shut up and support Romney or get ready for four more years of Obama, Reid, and the rest of the socialist scum. I personally like Paul but will take anyone over another demorat.
