As widely expected, Mitt Romney won a decisive victory in the Republican presidential caucus in Nevada Saturday.

With 45% of precincts in, the Associated Press reported that Romney had 43% of the vote, followed by Newt Gingrich with 26%, Ron Paul with 18%, and Rick Santorum with 13%. AP declared Romney the winner. Nevada's is the first caucus or primary to be held in a Western state this election season. The state's 28 delegates to the nominating convention are awarded to candidates on a proportional basis.

The Washington Post notes that the victory confirms Romney's status as front-runner and indicates that conservatives have yet to unite behind either Gingrich or Santorum as an alternative. Read the Post's analysis here.

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
