Yeah this is way too boring.

Per the entrance poll, Reno is Paulista land, and it isn't counted yet.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Romney could get serious momentum from this just because of his margin.

And if Paul beats McCain...ouch.

I don't know about anyone else, but I would not have expected Reno to be full of Paulistas.

Until someone wins the all important SC primary. Enjoy the five hours in the spotlight, Mitt.

[Meeker]

Yea, Washoe went 31% for Paul.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So under current numbers Romney would take ALL delegates?

[War on Want]

So under current numbers Romney would take ALL delegates?

I think so.

[J. J.]

So under current numbers Romney would take ALL delegates?

IIRC, all the delegates are unpledged.

CNN's entrance poll breaks it into two religion categories, one which counts Mormons as Protestant (wtf?). But in the second, it appears Mormons make up 25% of the voters, and Romney won 94% of them. With those numbers, no other candidate stood a chance. However Romney also won Catholics and Protestants, though Paul wins "Other Christians" (Takes up 15% of the voters, so it's not some small numbers either. Whats it mean?) over Romney 32-23.

[Aizen]

It shouldn't be as a surprise that Paul could get second here. It is the libertarian West after all.

Well, many Evangelicals do not consider themselves Protestants (and will respond simply as "Christian" or "Other Christian"), but somehow I can't see Paul winning Evangelicals.

He could have won them because of young Evangelicals.

So under current numbers Romney would take ALL delegates?

If he maintains his majority, he will probably have enough delegates at the state convention to elect a straight Romney ticket (assuming any pro-rural weighting mechanism doesn't act too much  against him.

Even if Romney does win a majority, Paul will still probably win one delegate from the CD 3 caucus.

[Lincoln Republican]

Get this straight, once and for all, Romney is  Mormon, but he is not a Mormon candidate.

He is a serious contender for President.

He is a Presidential candidate.

It's like Obama, he is black, but he is not a black candidate.  He is a Presidential candidate.

It's like Clinton, she is a woman, but she is not a a woman candidate, she is a Presidential candidate.  

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Based on my extrapolation of the entrance poll, Paul should win some delegates too statewide, but no one else.

Paul could win around 6 delegates or so from this. That'll give him quite a lead of Giuliani, who doesn't have a single pledged delegate yet and still won't after today. How is he still a serious candidate?

[Lincoln Republican]

Until someone wins the all important SC primary. Enjoy the five hours in the spotlight, Mitt.

And until Mitt starts chalking up a whole series of impressive wins on Super Tuesday, which will, once again, establish his momentum.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Entrance poll also shows virtually no difference between urban, suburban and rural areas.

Romney gets 95% of Mormon votes. What percentage of Black votes does Obama get? What percentage of woman votes does Clinton get?

Romney is a Mormon, but he is not a Mormon candidate.

He is the Mormon candidate.

[minionofmidas]

should be a while, but it's imperative that we have one for each party.

here's to a second Gold in a row!

YEAH!

Who's the Native guy?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I like how Romney wins 28% of those who said the most important candidate quality is "Says what he believes". Those he loses that to Paul, and wins the other two for which there are results by wide margins, so there's some logic there. But still, what are those thinking?

[Middle-aged Europe]

Mitt Romney believes that he should be president.
