PoliticsUSA: Republicans: The dye is cast for Romney's wwin in oncoming primaries and caucuses
Romney Wins Nevada Caucuses
by Patrick O'Connor and Jim Carlton
RENO, Nev.—Mitt Romney handily won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, capping a pivotal week that saw him regain his front-runner status on the strength of a hard-fought win in Florida.
With 41% of the precincts counted, the former Massachusetts governor was the top pick of 42% of Republican caucus-goers, with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a distant second with 26.5% of the vote and Texas Rep. Ron Paul in third at 18%.
Mr. Romney's back-to-back, double-digit victories in Florida and Nevada cement his status as the candidate to beat heading into the first extended lull of the Republican nominating contest.
