Romney Wins Nevada…
Next up, Colorado and Minnesota.
(NY Times) — Mitt Romney scored a sweeping victory in Nevada today with a broad coalition of voters that included groups that he has struggled to win in previous contests, including very conservative voters, strong Tea Party supporters and evangelicals.
The victory extends the momentum Mr. Romney carried from his commanding victory in Florida last Tuesday, and pushed forward his march toward the Republican nomination.
Mr. Romney’s rivals largely conceded the state before the results were known, with some leaving Nevada to campaign in Colorado and Minnesota. Mr. Romney, who won Nevada in 2008, had never given up the lead in polls here.
With nearly half of caucus voters in Nevada describing themselves as very conservative, the state’s electorate was the most conservative since Iowa.
It also had the largest share of strong Tea Party supporters (more than 4 in 10 of all voters) of any of the Republican nominating contests to date — a makeup that would have proven problematic for Mr. Romney in most of the other early states.

Oh…great…Milquetoast wins Nevada……snnnooozzzeeee….he’s a tttwwwaaaatttt
spit
Ptui!
We are clusterfarked.
I still say ABO. If Romney can beat Obama, then he has my vote.
Boo-ooo.
Harry Reid won Nevada too. Just means they are a bunch of dumb asses.
Shit!
Gangsta!!
Duh. Newt went off the rails after his first burst of speed.
14.3% reporting…
Romney 36.8%
Gingrich 29.0%
It’s much closer than anyone thought and it’s not over yet. The last county to report is favored for Newt. He spent no money in Nevada, did no advertising, or real campaigning and had no organization there… Looks like he can still pull this off!
You must have got those numbers from Newt.
Romney 42.5%
Gingrich 24.5%
Romney is a loser. He has hurt the Republican Party already. I am conservative and Romney will not get my vote. He is a socialist and progressive like the liberal Democratics. It is going to be the race for Romney to lose.
Heard a fellow on the radio, Steve Deace, who said the media is in the bag for Mitt and trying to make it sound like its in the bag… but Deace says just about every Southern state will vote Newt, that Southern’s relate better to another Southerner than a snobby ivy league from Harvard.
@ m says, Romney is a loser. He has hurt the Republican Party already. I am conservative and Romney will not get my vote.
then you must be happy with Obama.
15.1% reporting…
Romney 38.9%
Gingrich 27.4%

We have to remember that only 5 states have had their primary.
Let’s not let the MSM decide our candidate again.
Interesting story on American Thinker re/Missouri. Seems the Dems are voting Santorum to deny Romney the win. Bizarre!

@myrtle
Heh they think a brokered convention would be a bad thing.
“I am conservative and Romney will not get my vote. ”
Bullshit. You’re obviously a closet liberal.
If we had 3 and 1/2 years of McCain, we would be just as screwed as we are from Obama. McCain likes to please the drive by media. So we would have some light version of Obamacare, we would have cap and trade because McCain, actually believes in global warming, and the economy would be just as bad, if not worse.
I say, no friggin way do we let the no talent ass clowns of the establishment rino GOP middle of the aisle jackasses decide which loser they want to elect. Nobody who believes in the big fat B.S. of global warming gets to be elected: so no Romney, no Gingrich. rant over.
@JB
so no Romney, no Gingrich
______________________
Yes to who?
@NWMN
idk? Santorum?
@JB
That’s who I’m behind right now.
I’d consider a Newt nomination as settling and a Mittens nomination as an upcoming loss in the general election.
A Mittens nomination would take Obamacare out as an election issue.
If Newt picks Allen West as his VP, I`ll be extremely happy. Then it would be like 2008 all over again with pulling the lever for the VP instead of the Presidential candidate.
Mittens is Obama V2 – he is poison. That`s why the libs and media are doing all they can to make him the GOP nominee – just like Juan McLame in 2008.
Romney still hasn’t received 50% in any primary.
He still needs 1,047 delegates for the nomination.
Tell the MSM to GO TO HELL!
There is still time to nominate a conservative!!
What we need to do is keep hammering Mittens to push him to the right. I will support Sponge Bob instead of Chicago Jesus. If Mittens gets the nomination, then we push him to the right and support him enthusiastically. A brokered convention is still a possibility.
Oh my, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to get on HuffPo. My boo boo.
ObamaCare soon will be called RomneyCare if Romney becomes prez..
@Rocketman
We can try to push him to the right all we want, but that’s not how he thinks.
He’s dipping into class warfare, he wants to tie minimum wage to inflation, Romneycare, etc.
‘You can put lipstick on a liberal pig, but it’s still a pig.
Push Romney to the right?
Good luck with that.
Maybe Obama needs to replace Biden with Romney as VP
America is stuffed if Romney is the answer.
Sheesh. I see the Moby’s have arrived. Maybe we can replace Obama with someone who has taken real college classes.
Did anyone expect anything different in heavily Mormon populated Nevada…
Nevada = mormons.
Colorado = liberal.
minn = liberal.
Yyyyyyup.
Romneys gonna win this, quite easily in fact.
I think I need to move to……shit, anywhere but here.
Romeny will be the candidate, he will go WUSSY soft on Obama just like McCaint, then we will have Obutthole for another 4 and our country is officially done. Stick a fork in it. The writing is on the wall, barring some last second surprise that eliminates Romney.
Its so sad that we see this coming like a frieght train at us in a tunnel, and not a damn thing we can do about it.
Grab your ankles, time for more socialism lovin.
I know my typing was horrible I just got off work and Im tired.

it would seem that some commenter’s religious bigotry is showing.
Another hollow victory, YAY Gee Oh Pee
Romney’s complete lack of message and relentless character assassination has angered, discouraged, and depressed the party base BIG TIME… doesn’t bode well for fall, does it
Obama would kick his butt up and down the field in November, just look at the turnout in Nevada… pathetic

@Bee1
Jim Moran: Alan West is a Hyena….Obama is the Lion King
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) went on MSNBC’s “dog whistle” expert Martin Bashir’s show and unleashed an assault of freshman Rep. Allen West (D-FL) that focused exclusively on the unrelated subject of Congressman West’s African American heritage. Not only does he refer to the black congressman in terms of the African animal, the hyena, he ties the animal to its depiction in the “Lion King”. Both the movie and the play portrayed the hyenas as “jive-talking” (NPR) “gangstas” (Newsweek). If that wasn’t enough, Moran doubled and tripled down on his racist tirade – even challenging the black congressman’s black authenticity.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sulnTNBZMU
Jim Moran says military service is not public service
“What [Republicans] do is find candidates, usually stealth candidates, that haven’t been in office, haven’t served or performed in any kind of public service. My opponent is typical, frankly.” Moran was referencing retired Colonel Patrick Murray who had served for 24 years in a U.S. Army uniform.

What drives a man like Romney to run like this? He has all the money he needs, a great family. He doesn’t seem power hungry, but maybe he is. I can’t figure him out. This is the second race in a row he’s run seeing that the R base really doesn’t like him all that well. He was run off by Huckabee last time for crying out loud.
I’m ABO however. And anyone I know who votes any other way is dead to me. I cannot stomach the thought of Obama and his wife and entourage in the WH for another cycle. Most of his mob is white and yet they will beat us over the head with the race card for opposing him and I AM SICK OF IT. Its the most unfair thing I’ve felt happen to me in my lifetime.
“What drives a man like Romney to run like this?”
The ghost of George Romney.
Watch this ad and tell me how anyone can support Romney:

Do you trust him?
Who the fsck voted for Romney? Acorn Employees?
Any reader from Nevada…,.
Are there any readers from Nevada on this website? Just one?
Do Acorn employees really outnumber Republican voters?
How about assholes? Do assholes outnumber Republican voters?

All you asshole Acorn employees who voted for Romney
Romney is NOT eligible to the office of president!
His father was a Mexican National at the time he was born.
Bartholomew Roberts
We are screwed. It is going to be the race for Romney to lose. The Republican Party is in big trouble because of Romney’s campaign are destroy the party and dismissed the conservatives, indpendents, and Tea Party. I was Gov. Perry’s supporter and I will not vote for Romney in November. It is going to be just like 2008 all over again when McCain lost to Obama. I didn’t wanted to Romney get in the race again for the second time in a row just like McCain and Dole. It is Karl Rove’s fault!
Nevada a conservative state? Any state that would reelect Reid to the senate can’t be too conservative.
“I was Gov. Perry’s supporter and I will not vote for Romney in November. ”
Then, why are you here? You obviously are content to contribute to another Obama victory. Shut the fuck up and pout in silence.
If I have to hold my nose and vote for Romney, I will.
It’s still, Anyone But Obama.
And remember, it’s not just the Presidency, but control of Congress counts almost as much.
The Dems have zero chance of retaking the House majority, but it may just work out that whoever wins the Presidency, also gets enough support to turn the the Senate.
If we have Romney, AND a majority in both houses of Congress, it will be better than Obama…. far better.
“If we have Romney, AND a majority in both houses of Congress, it will be better than Obama…. far better.”
No doubt.
However, how will a McConnell, Boehner, Romney leadership play out?
These guys will search out libs to roll over to.
We need a fighter. We need Newt.
We’re so fucked… This guy makes me sick, really not sure I can vote for him…
Of course I’ll vote for Romney.
But I’ll never carry water for him, and will continue to shout from the rooftops just how lousy a candidate he is.
The GOP needs to be torn asunder. It’s the only way.
The GOP is like a snake with conservative boots on it’s neck. Let up one iota, and will bite you out of fear for it’s life.
I’m Canadian, so you can tell me to mind my own business if you like.
I would love to see Newt as the Republican candidate, ideally with West as VP. It will be a shame if Romney gets the nomination.
But if I was American, and able to vote, I’d hold my nose and vote Republican, no matter who the candidate is. Obama MUST be stopped.
Wow look at all the little babies here saying: “If my guy doesn’t win I won’t vote for the winner!”
Boo f-ing hoo, infants. That is the most blatantly childish attitude I have seen.
The objective (to the adults in the room) is to remove 0bama from office.
ABO in 2012.
Here is the 800 pound Gorilla in the room NO ONE is talking about. Mittens has not pulled over 50% in any race from his own party, mostly because (I believe) he doesn’t energize the party BASE – those that are actual CONSERVATIVES. Everyone who believes the media B/S that Romney is the only Republican candidate in the field that can beat Obama is counting on the fact that conservatives will show up and vote for Mittens in the national election b/c they detest Obama. I’m not convinced. It may come down to one of those weather things; if it’s raining the day of the election many will just stay home b/c they just don’t see much difference between Obama and Romney anyway.
I will vote for Romney if it comes to it, but I’ll be holding my nose AND biting my lip b/c in my heart I know this guy is a phony conservative.
“Wow look at all the little babies here saying: “If my guy doesn’t win I won’t vote for the winner!”
Boo f-ing hoo, infants. That is the most blatantly childish attitude I have seen. ”
True. No sane person would stand by and let the country be subjected to 4 more years of the Obama administration, unless they’re closet liberals.
It’s sad to see the RNC outsourced to a Democrat to win the primary (and lose the general).
Romney’s great for my day job, my raise and bonus, etc., but it’s really a shame to see that the RNC is so desperate to reject the reforms the Tea Party people want that they’ve hired a Mass. liberal and, as we learned this week, a registered Democrat, to represent their faction.
In the end, it’ll all collapse without immediate reform and it’s even more likely to go French as revolutions are, though the few RINO elites I talk to believe that either Romney or Obama will help ratchet down all the controls, domestic surveillance, domestic drones, health care monitoring and other threats to intimidate the middle class so they don’t rebel the moment they discover just how much the elites of stolen from them through their pact with the redistributionist class.
But think of the bright side… if you’re not a small business person, Romney might give you a little more (inflated and devalued) cash in your pocket before it all blows to hell.
Romney is a white Obama. Face it folks, we are doomed. The libs now have half of the Repulicans on their side. I can’t understand how so many people have lost their minds. Goodbye America.
First things first… get rid of Obama.
Anything Romney does or doesn’t do will be better than what Obama and the Demons will do if they have a second term.
Obama will take a victory as a “mandate” to continue with his “fundamental transformation” of our country. The damage he could do would be catastrophic.
We can address the RINO population in 2014.
@fool4 Jesus
“Goodbye America.”
Goodbye, fool.
True no sane person would let Obama win four more years by sitting on their hands. However that doesn’t mean that voting for Romney will not make me violently ill for the next four years. Of course I won’t have to be sick because Obama will dice up Romney in the debates and leave him bleeding in the corner. We are so being played in this primary. It’s a shame the average fool can’t see it.
I just posted the following at Newt’s FaceBook page. I hope he reads it.
1.) You need to call a wider variety of talk shows, daytime and night time.
2.) We Tea Party’ers would love it if you planned to sweep out the State Dept and begin new. Explain why you once said the State Dept. needed to be bigger.
3.) Would Allen West do VP with you? That is a shoe-in!
4.) The UN is taking over the globe and here as well. Would you consider defunding the UN and kicking them out of NYC?
Those 4 things will help!!!!! The blog I go to http://weaselzippers.us/- are basically what we would call Tea Party types and HATE Mittens!!!!!
Flyover Fred:
So Romneycare was a Democrat. I just saw it at Red State.
I agree with your post.
We are supposed to elect a “I know about the economy but stick with liberal views on everything else because I’m a Democrat” Romneycare to lead the Republican Party.
More reason I won’t vote for Romneycare.
One of thousands of huge problems with another obama term other than he will steam roll us that makes this last 3 years look tame… he will have the opportunity to seat a few of the retired SCOTUS members with even more commies!!!!!!!
I had no idea that the commies in there now, Ruth Ginsberg, actually hated OUR Constitution.
I think by now its obvious that Harvard grooms liberal presidents and its not a coincidence Mittens is a Harvard man.
The reason the GOP could give a shit what we think is that they are counting on the conservatives voting anybody but obama. They get to keep the status quo (power) and we get the shit sandwich. Business as usual.
@Teacake:
The scotus appointments would make the court the most left leaning ever. If we think the wise Latina and that bull dagger are bad, just wait.
“They get to keep the status quo (power) and we get the shit sandwich. Business as usual.”
This is America. At least you get a choice of shit sandwiches.
*Sucking thumb and clutching blanky* I will not be voting for Mitt Romney in November.
Voting for Romney = conservatism gets blamed for liberal governance
Voting for Romney = enabling the GOP establishment
I’m curious. For those here who do not want Romney as the nominee, but will vote for him in November. What answer would you give a pollster if they asked you right now whether or not you’d support Romney against Obama?
So scary VT
Teacake, you are absolutely correct. Obama could pack the court for the next 20 years with far left judges. I cannot fathom the mayhem he could achieve with 2 or 3 more “living constitution” judges in the Supreme Court. We are going to have to support whatever candidate emerges from the convention. Another 20 years with a liberal court would end this country.
StrangernFiction, I don’t answer pollsters, never have. Half the time they slant their questions.
In 2008, decent conservative middle class folks voted for the repugnant wishy-washy, weak liberal John McCain. The sacrificed their principles, their reputations, and their common sense to go along with the demand the irresponsible fat-cat RINO elites made. “You have no choice. Commie Obama or us. Anything else is a vote for the Commie. Give us the vote or Grandma gets it!”
This blackmail by the country club elites ends here and now! Step across this line with another progressive candidate and lose.
There is no difference between the two parties, other than whether its the poor or rich parasites getting the middle class’s confiscated wealth (both present and future per $115 trillion in debt obligations we’ve been co-signed to). Bailouts to elites, no-bid contracts to elites. Are you stupid enough to think that Obama’s the only one doing the Solyndra type deals with his friends? Take a look in your own party, friends. Our own “Conservative” Republican Senator Grassley, who is decent on Fast and Furious hearings, is guilty of getting millions of our dollars for his cronies in Iowa for a stupid Rainforest project he embraced (yes, in Iowa). They all do it. They’re all addicts of the progressive scam.
We can’t deal with addicts. We can’t deal with elites who no longer share our culture and values. Put Romney on the ticket for the general and there’s a new Tea Party forming.
RNC: You were warned in 2008 and 2010.
“*Sucking thumb and clutching blanky* I will not be voting for Mitt Romney in November.”
It’s been said before. Liberalism is a disease.
Flyover Fred,
Yes it is blackmail, and yes we have towed the party line time and time again. If times were better, I would hoist the black flag and help you eliminate the old guard. With the country in such dire straights I cannot risk giving Obama four more years to ruin this country. The Washington insiders have played politics with the future of American and for this I damn them to hell. Their games gave us Obama and their games will be the destruction of this country. Let us defeat the immediate threat and then we can make the old guard bleed.
Who wants a big government progressive in the white house? We already have one of those. Pro Wilson, loves FDR.
@Tired Warrior
Precisely! The best way.
The real question is who will do the most damage in four years., Obama or Romney? Obama has already shredded the constitution, dumped on our alies, given financial support to those wish us harm, wasted billions on his “make the rich, richer projects”, and added two liberal drones to the Court. With him the next four years could be brutal. Romney may be a moderate empty suit with plastic hair, but I doubt he would attempt the nightmare that Obama guaranties.
If you are here saying your principles are such that you cannot vote for Romney, then you are not looking around at those people who once had jobs, but are being forced to depend on the government, or family members, for the very roof over their heads, or the food in their mouths. What sort of principle would give the election back to this current Regime finishing off the rest of the country, or the world for that matter?
How are you and your principles going to look into the eyes of our military members? This Regime is going to see to it that they are murdered one way, or another in one of his illegal wars. See Libya, Kenya, etc.
How are your so called principles going to be defended when this Regime takes over our religious freedoms? This move with the Catholic Church has only just begun, and I see little stopping it if the Regime is allowed to further damage our courts.
I call bullshit on your so called principles not allowing you to vote for whomever wins this, and know this, these so called principles may not exactly be principles, but rather are jackassery, and ignorance, and they will land you and your family in darkness, and in such dire straits you and your principles could never imagine!

I would and HAVE said ” Our Country needs to remove the Grifter in Chief from the White House. I would vote for the suspected liberal over a know Marxist thug any day of the week for the good of my Country if those are my choices”.

Let’s be real here folks. We all want a more conservative republican party. We are not going to achieve that goal by fracturing the party and awarding the socialist another four years. I don’t support Romney, but I can’t survive another four years of Obama. Can you? Obama is weak right now and we can take him. Gallup just said so in their electoral vote poll. If it’s the diference between the devil I know or the devil that could be. There is no choice. In four more years Obama could make America into Cuba. He’s that bad. It’s not like we are giving up our values or beliefs. At least with Romney we may survive to fight another day. Four more years of Obama and we could all end up in a Gulag for re-education. Remember Sun Tsu, choose when to fight and where.
It’s obvious Karl Rove has read Sun Tsu – “It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used”. A la Coulter, Beck, and Drudge. Remember them they are not to be trusted!
“What answer would you give a pollster if they asked you right now whether or not you’d support Romney against Obama?”
Although I would of course vote for Romney over Obama, I would give the opposite answer to the pollster.
The message needs to be sent back to the establishment about the weak “electable” argument they use for this otherwise unprincipled oaf.

Well the media and the Republicans told you it was going to be Romney 2 years ago, That’s why they killed Cain off right when he took off, can’t have an outsider and the people’s choice get in and screw up their gravy train on our dollar.
Forget about the President, we need some more good Conservatives in the house and senate that listen to the people, not DC insiders
White Obama wins again yeh where screwed
Tired Warrior, I respect your principles and integrity as it comes through the sincerity of your post (along with others who feel they have no alternative but to cave in another time to the blackmail of the RNC progressives). I’d do it once again, out of my understanding of just what Obama is, but there’s a fundamental problem with the view you and other “repair from within the progressive Republican party” folks are taking: Romney and their ilk helps advance the radical progressive cause.
I’m unfortunately well studied on Lenin and Marx. I can assure you that Obama is as well, and has not only closely read Lenin but is applying his theory of first and second revolution (though to be fair, I see Obama “going along” with this leadership being provided by others of greater intellectual rigor; we don’t expect this level of cognitive analysis from D students who’ve had to conceal their transcripts, couldn’t manage to actually write a single journal article, etc.).
The problem with the Slow and Steady Progressives (McCain, Lindsay Graham, Hatch, Romney, Bush I and II, Rove, etc.) is that they set up a successful end game for the Radical Progressives, as witnessed after the first Soviet revolution. This is critical in their orientation: they agree with the premise of global progressivism, as Romney tells us daily (Obamacare’s good when done by all the states, minimum wage increases bracketed to inflation are good, “I won’t cancel Obama’s programs, I’ll just fix them,” etc.). This provides the sole ground for conflict based on speed. Include into that their model of compromise-by-reaching-across(around)-the-aisle, which we all know has allowed them to compromise with absurdly radical positions. This is assured by the agreement on progressive political philosophy, agreement on Marxist redistribution, on powerful central governments, on the radical interpretation of the Constitution (or its ultimate setting aside), and leaving the sole debate to be on the speed of change. There will be no debate on anything else as Romney and the RINOs have already ceded this ground.
In four years, Romney will have slowed the expansion, not contracted anything. He will make Obamacare 98%, not 100%. He will make the multi-trillion dollar deficits 110% growth, not 120%. This profoundly moves us toward the brink where the Radicals will have their proof: “See! Slow-and-Steady isn’t radical enough. We need faster, total change, all at once!”
It happened in the USSR and it will happen in the U.S. given Romney’s election. Left with another four years of Obama, he’s exposed and accountable for the fiasco, compared to a Romney which validates that progressive change isn’t drastic enough. Both are a disaster.
America requires a strong third party alternative now. Unfortunately, such an entity doesn’t exist. I’m afraid we all have a lot of blame to share for the end that’s all but certain.
Posting this probably won’t wake any Romneybots(cousins to Obots) up, but just in case:
Paul Weyrich Warns Conservatives on Romney and Endorses Gingrich From the Grave
Weyrich endorsed Romney in 2008.
And deeply regretted it.
And begged McCain NOT to choose him for VP.
More on that at the end of this article. This summary does NOT give you full nuance and I urge you to read it in it’s entirety. Keep in mind this was before Gingrich’s own spiritual awakening and commitment to Christ and Catholic church.
For those who (shockingly) may not know, Paul Weyrich was the founder of the Heritage Foundation and the Free Congress Foundation – two of the most influential think tanks in the conservative movement.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/newt/newtintwshtml/weyrich.html
Flyover Fred,
Well written and obviously intelligently thought out.
I still believe a third party doesn’t stand a chance working from the outside of either party. Look what happened to Teddy Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party. He had everything going for him. The money and power create a vacuum where nothing else is allowed to grow. Now take a look at how Hitler formed a coalition with Hindenburg’s conservatives in 1932. That’s how you survive and take control, from within. It took years but it happened.
“more than 4 in 10 of all voters”–Hey! That’s worse than more than 2 in 5!!!
@ Greg. Thanks for the insight. There is no perfect candidate. ABR and then ABO.

Listen assholes – if Romney is the nominee you vote for him. End of story. Otherwise STFU as Obama continues his assault on America. You and your principles will destroy this country by giving us another four years of this low life poseur as commander-in-chief. You went from Palin to Bachmann to Cain (what was his qualifications again – oh now I recall, he made pizza and like Obama is black?) to Gingrich – all looking for a reincarnation of Ronald Reagan.
Footsies in the park wrote: “Listen assholes – if Romney is the nominee you vote for him. End of story. ”
I still say more than 2 in 5 is better than “more than 4 in 10″ asswipe.
Footsteps in the dark,

Thank you,
No assholes, but a bunch of infants none the less. Boo f-ing hoo. “If my guy doesn’t win I’m not voting … waaaaaaaah wah.”
Grow up. It’s anyone but 0bama in 2012. So if Newt/Palin/Cain/Grinch doesn’t win, the adults in the room will be voting for ABO in 2012.
The rest you you infants? You’ll get what you deserve.
The only one worse then Obama (if that is possible) is Ron Paul.
