Additional focus is being centered on this event, since Romney is a leading contender for the GOP Nomination in 2012, should he decide to run. Nevada is now emerging as an important early voting state in that process. While Romney won the
According to CNN:
“Last weekend, in hopes of preventing a repeat performance, Republican state party leaders changed the rules to make the 2012 caucus results binding, meaning that delegates attending the Republican National Convention in Florida the following summer must stick with the candidate choices determined by the caucus results.”
"Usually we've been the ugly stepchild that nobody cared about," says Heidi Smith, a Nevada member of the Republican National Committee. "This time around it's going to be important for the candidates to come here and prove themselves to the people of Nevada ."
“That's one reason Republican leaders decided last month not to make Nevada's February 2012 GOP caucuses a winner-take-all contest. They wanted to attract all GOP presidential comers to compete for delegates instead of potentially ceding the state to Romney if he jumps into the race.”
"I think everyone has to recognize that Mitt Romney will be the front-runner in the Nevada caucuses," said Jack St. Martin, a GOP consultant based in the state. "The question will be how strongly he finishes and who finishes second, and how strong a second."

Widely recognized for his leadership and accomplishments as a public servant and in private enterprise, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney currently serves as the Honorary Chairman of the Free and Strong America PAC.

Elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Governor Romney presided over a dramatic reversal of state fortunes and a period of sustained economic expansion. Without raising taxes or increasing debt, Governor Romney balanced the budget every year of his administration, closing a $3 billion budget gap inherited when he took office.

Come here what he, and our other convention speakers, has to share.

Great post Doug.
as a proportionate race now it will be important for someone to finish a strong second. That will be very hard to do, with Romney winning a VERY STRONG first.

You're on a roll Doug, Keep it Up!!!
I would have preferred NV stay winner take all, but I'm confident Romney will win there big there anyway.
When the primary or caucus winner is reported in the news, newscasters almost never mention the proportionate delegate allocations. They just quickly report the first place and maybe second and third place winner. I think most uninvolved voters don't even realize some states are not winner-take-all. The average voter doesn't even pay that much attention to the state variations.

I'm willing to bet they'll all be in Nevada this time. Fighting for second place.
