Only 83 precincts remaining to report in Nevada Republican caucuses (out of 1789 total), so we shouldn't see too much variance from these figures: Romney 52 percent, Ron Paul and John McCain at 13 percent, Thompson and Huckabee at 8 percent, Rudy Giuliani 4 percent, Duncan Hunter 2 percent.
UPDATE: CNN is now projecting delegates - I'm wondering if they're making the mistake I made earlier thinking it was a straight proportional system, or whether they've accounted for the who-wins-congressional-districts rules...
Anyway, they have Hillary winning 13 delegates, Obama winning 12...
On the Republican side, Romney 16, Paul and McCain 3 each, Thompson and Huckabee 2 each.

A great victory for RINO’s, a terrible blow for America and Conservativism.
a great victory for Mormons....way to spend that money Mitt and get those temple believers out to the caucuses...../sarcasm/
Mr. Romney won the percentage of ALL faiths.
Mormonism has a history with the earliest pioneers of Nevada. Toured there last summer and was particularly surprised at the Mormon presence there. Not surprised by his landslide victory there.
Exactly.
On the other hand, I wonder how much Hunter was paying HIS supporters for their votes.
Of course I'm being facetious. Just couldn't resist after all the accusations of Romney paying his supporters... yadda yadda yadda.
Don’t blame conservatism..blame the candidates...Thompson is just not a very motivating candidate..he’s not. Romney has worked his ass off..and that goes a long way.
They eloped?
So what is all the hype about Hillary 'winning'?
Not much, Obama has more total delegates than the Beast.
And in SC Mitt will come in 3rd. Not shabby. McCain 1 Huckabee 2.
Then the stupid sheep bellow why things are so bad in politics.. well they consistently go for the candidate who gives them the best song and dance routine, ideas/ideology be damned. Hickabee’s rise is especially alarming in this regard.
It's looking like Romney's gonna buy the nomination with his own money, and that will leave Conservatives with NO ONE to vote for.....

MITT ROMNEY
A Jarring Statistic in Romney’s Nevada Victory
I don’t think the Mormon card is a legitimate card to play against Mitt Romney. Love him or hate him, there are plenty of reasons to vote for or against the man besides his religion.
But if the entrance polls are accurate - that 25 percent of the GOP caucusgoers were Mormon, and that 94 percent of those voters voted for Romney - then the post-victory spin from his rivals is going to be, “Well, what do you expect? He mobilized the Mormons, and they put him over the top.” (To his credit, he also won evangelical Protestants and Catholics, but by much narrower margins.)
If accurate, that’s a wildly disproportionate turnout for that demographic. As MSNBC notes, they’re 7.5 percent of the state’s population.
I can hear the cries of, “so what?” Yes, Nevadans are free to vote for or against any candidate on whatever basis. But I’m almost as disturbed by those who vote for a candidate because of his or her religion as I am by those who vote against a candidate because of his or her religion.
I mean, I’m Catholic (and a lousy one at that), but if I put the religious denomination above all else, I’d end up voting for Mario Cuomo, Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Bob Menendez, etc. ...
Not with those who look at what they're getting: a RINO who flip-flops like the Hildabeast, just to pander to the polls.....
The MSM says she has momentum!
Well, she is heading into Obama country, S.Carolina, 50% black vote.
Not shabby?
The guy who spent the most money there and made the most visits?
Third isn’t shabby?
LOL
The Nevada desert. What is it about the Mormons and the desert?
LOL
