Topic: Romney to win Nevada. | |
---|---|
With 45 percent of precincts reporting, Romney has 43 percent of the vote. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with 26 percent, and Rep. Ron Paul, with 18 percent, are battling for second place. Former Sen. Rick Santorum has 13 percent of the vote.
Romney has just 80 at this point (and an additional 11 unpledged delegates) -- far from the 1,144 needed to secure the GOP nomination. Even if he were to win every delegate starting with Nevada and going through Super Tuesday, Romney still wouldn't have enough delegates to clinch the nomination. (Ten states hold their contests on "Super Tuesday," which falls on March 6.) |
