Romney
wins Nevada as expected with an unprecedented and overwhelming
show of support from
Mormon voters. Does the latter matter? Some say
yes. It is probably not the second
paragraph of the news stories Romney wanted but his larger problem
is that few will buy that a “win” in uncontested Nevada makes up
for a third or fourth place showing in SC. There aren’t too many
more states which will be uncontested but there are a lot of
contested ones, especially in the South, and explaining why he
can’t win in a southern state which is actually more diverse than
many of the February 5 states will take every once of spin the
Romney camp has in them. McCain and Ron Paul are in a
battle for
second in Nevada, by the way.
UPDATE: The Romney team emails are back to silly
Olympic medal counts touting the Nevada win. (Didn’t their guy say
he was uninterested in getting a gold star on his forehead like a
first grader? Not operative this week I guess.) In Romney-ese that
means two uncontested caucus “wins” plus Michigan give them three
gold medals to go with two silvers (in normal parlance known as
“losses” to Huckabee and McCain). I do agree with
this take that if McCain wins
today, Florida will be the last place for McCain’s opponents to
stop him.
