A great victory for RINO’s, a terrible blow for America and Conservativism.
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.
They eloped?
So what is all the hype about Hillary 'winning'?

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. ...
The Nevada desert. What is it about the Mormons and the desert?

So Romney comes out of the weekend with about 18-20 additional delegates while the “winners” in SC come away with fewer than 10. Not bad at all.
1785 of 1789 precincts reporting: (NV)
Romney 51%
Paul 14%
McCain 13%
Huckabee 8%
Thompson 8%
Giuliani 4%
Hunter 2%
Paul opens can of whoopa$$ on McCain, now leads by 436 votes, and Huckabee now leads Thompson by 95...
Wow. Those Mormons sure know how to mobilize and vote for their man!
His campaign manager, David Plouffe, was far more pointed in a written statement that accused the Clinton campaign of "an entire week's worth of false, divisive attacks designed to mislead caucus-goers and discredit the caucus itself."
Clinton declined to comment on the allegation.
I can't wait until they campaign together in the fall. lol
The Fred people love to complain about how he is ignored. But if you want to see real professional “ignoring”, check out www.msn.com.
On the entire page, Romney’s name is never mentioned. He WON the Nevada caucus, and his name isn’t given.
Instead, it says “Nevada muddle”, and in the story it claims that the only two races of interest were the Republican SC race and the democrats Nevada race.
How can you offer a news web page and not even mention the guy who WON one of the 50 states?
