Republican party officials decided this month to prohibit delegates from switching their votes at the Republican National Convention. That makes Nevada a key state for GOP hopefuls, as candidates can count on the state’s votes to push them closer to a nomination.
The party set Feb. 18, 2012, as the caucus date (the same day as the Democrats’), making Nevada the third Republican contest nationally and the first in the West. Members chose a proportional system, rather than winner-takes-all.With delegates being awarded proportionately, coming in a strong second may be something for some candidates to consider shooting for.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, potential candidates are looking now at Nevada from a whole new perspective.
As it stands now, according to recent polls, Mitt Romney is well ahead of the pack and has pretty much had the state to himself.
Only time will tell if this will change.

Other candidates may try a little harder but most I believe will still look at Nevada pretty much the same way they look at Utah and NH. Why bother, when I can put my efforts elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right Rev!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Rev.
ReplyDeleteRomney has Nevada sewed up. The rules may have changed, but the outcome will be the same.
So goes Utah, So goes Nevada!

I hope what ever happens in Nevada, Romney prevails.
ReplyDeleteRomney is VERY POPULAR in Nevada. No changes in how they determine their delegates will change this or the eventual outcome.
