Romney won here is 2008. 28 Delegates, awarded proportionally.

The real question is not if he can win but how much. For Gingrich and Santorum, Being able to collect a substantial amount of delegates is almost as important as a win itself. Gingrich has gone on to say that he will fight through to the convention. In reality he will only be fighting until he is mathmatically eliminated. I believe the only reason why Santorum is still in the race is because Romney is still a very weak frontrunner. Santorum knows the base is not happy with Romney. I don't think he would still be in it if Romney had a stronger support from the base. He also knows that other have started slowly and then gone on to win. Clinton had a slow start in 92.Question is, can he win again?
I think Romney may have the edge. Paul also got a nice amount of votes here in 08 so a possible 2nd is likely if Newt doesn't contest.
I'm a Nevada Mormon, and I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm still hoping that somehow, someway, Marco Rubio will step up to the plate and win this thing for us.Nevada has a significant Mormon population, all of whom will turn out for Romney, handing him the win. Paul's advantage here is grossly overstated. I think Santorum will appeal much more to non-urban Nevada conservatives.
A Paul victory wouldn't surprise me here or in Maine. His campaign is pretty much tailor made to win caucuses, and he seems to have a more rabid following in the western states than elsewhere.

The last polling before the vote has Romney up by either 20 or 25, depending on poll, over Gingrich. Santorum and Paul vie for the boobie prize. Vote is tomorrow
A boobie prize in a state where brothels are legal? I wonder which candidate will end up there.
Is it over, can we watch the super bowl now?
This was over before it ever got started in Iowa.
