Yes and note SC is both the only primary state so far which has actually enjoyed a marked increase in their primary turnout compared to 2008 and the only one in which the Communazi Kenyan Usurper-in-Chief didn't successfully steal the election with the help of his unionist Mau-Mau thugs. The two are related.

It is Really pathetic. The Obama/Clinton caucus in 2008 drew 110,000. This one will be lucky to break 35K.

I hope gambling and prostitution become illegal in Nevada ... They don't deserve states rights any more.

Special Late NV Caucus


CNN - Nevada Special Late Caucus - YouTube#!

Santorum doesn't have the organization or the money, so why isn't the media asking when he will drop out. Newt is in the same boat. The top candidates imo are Romney vs Paul.

Not really. Not with his open borders and amnesty stance.

The caucus was only open to registered Republicans. I highly doubt Republicans (even in Nevada) want prostitution, drug use, or gambling to remain legal in Nevada.

I bet if it was ever put up to a vote, a majority of Nevada GOPers would want those things illegal. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority want alcohol banned, since Mormon cultists make up a third of GOP voters in NV.

Which is precisely why Ron Paul fails miserably in caucuses that are only open to registered Republicans.

Default GOP strategist Ed Rogers: Low turnout in Nev a concern

The Romney Effect- he's winning- at least, with those voters who are bothering to turn out.

But GOP campaign veteran says the general lack of enthusiasm in the primaries, as reflected in lower-than-'08 turnout in Fla and Nev, should be a concern for Romney and the GOP when the race goes national:

Low turnout in Nevada should concern GOP - The Insiders - The Washington Post

Thanks, those of us that supported Paul and worked hard on his behalf appreciate your wish that we lose the few remaining State's rights that haven't been usurped by the federal government. Do your ill wishes extend to the other states where Paul has not won as well?

I can understand your anger and disappointment. I'm not at all happy with my fellow Nevadans at the moment. Having said that, your comment was way out of line. As an aside there is a great deal more in Nevada than gambling and prostitution.

Does anybody still care about the GOP Primary? There's no enthusiasm for Romney, and Newt, Rick and Paul are all quacks in some regard. Lets just get on to Mitt getting owned by Obama.
