    GOP ends NV vote count; Romney on top with 50%

    LAS VEGAS (AP) — Nevada Republicans have finally finished counting the votes in their Saturday presidential caucuses.

    As projected, Mitt Romney won handily, finishing with 50 percent. Newt Gingrich was second with 21 percent, edging out Ron Paul who had 19 percent of the vote. Rick Santorum finished last with 10 percent.

    The results were released early Monday, nearly two days after voters began casting their ballots.

    Party officials blame the delay on voting discrepancies and their old-fashioned voting method of using handwritten ballots.

    GOP executive director David Gallagher says representatives from the campaigns approved the counting.

    Only 32,963 voters participated in the caucuses, far short of the 44,000 Republicans who voted in the 2008 GOP caucuses. Romney also won four years ago, during his first run for the White House.

      Americans are mesmerized by their TV. No person in their right mind would vote for Mitt or Newt.

      Romney is on top and Santorum on the bottom... with newt and ronpaul sandwiched in between. Such a gay picture. Isn't that what you call a double-decker sandwich?

      We're all Republicans in this family and nobody is excited about Romney. Newt is at least conservative and Ron Paul is also but way off on a couple issues. We will stay home in November instead of being forced to vote for this stinking tuna.

      "Party officials blame the delay on voting discrepancies and their old-fashioned voting method of using handwritten ballots."

      The process of rigging elections is far more efficient with electronic ballots.

      These results are a bunch of crap! and anyone who has been following what is really going on know's that. Recounts in secret, after the voters have left already. This is a hoax and a fix!

        Wow...What an intellectual person you are Bob. I also have a strange feeling that you have a tough time getting laid as well

      Apparently Nevada just doesn't care. And those that did, mostly voted for whom the media told them to vote for. There is no cure for stupidity.

        Look at it this way: 50% didn't vote for Romney. 79% didn't vote for Gingrich. 81% didn't vote for Ron Paul. 90% didn't vote for Santorum. And less than 33,000 people voted in these caucuses, which was tousands fewer than in 2008. . Considering that all these "voters" were Republican political activists packed into caucuses, that's a remarkable display of intelligence.

      32963 voters in the Nevada Caucuses. That leaves a whole lot of people that shouldn't #$%$ about their future down the road. Seems that they really just don't give a dam. Fools

      John Huntsman was the only one who could have defeated OBAMA, but since he work for in the OBAMA administration you dumb a_ _ tea party republicans would not give him a chance. and you want people to believe you willing to work with the other side

      Voter fraud. The elite have chosen Romney. Newt couldn't draw a crowd of more than two dozen people in SC unless people showed up to call him an #$%$ and the machines said he won.

      No surprise here. Money talks; always has and always will. Beware the Romney Dynasty though, he has 5 sons and 16 grandchildren and in electing one you may be electing, or at least hiring, all. We do not need more Kennedys or Bushes cornering the political market. Like it or not, this country (its people and its government) needs a strong dose of reality. RETAKE AMERICA - VOTE GINGRICH 2012!!!
