Nevada Republicans Favour Mitt Romney in Caucuses Vote
BBC: Mitt Romney has declared victory in Nevada's Republican caucuses, cementing his frontrunner status in the race to be the party's presidential candidate.

With just over 70% of the votes counted, he had secured 47.6% of the vote - well ahead of his nearest rival Newt Gingrich on 22.6%.

It is Mr Romney's second victory in a week, following his success in Florida.

Mr Gingrich - a former house speaker - has vowed to fight on until the party's convention in August.

"I'm not going to withdraw," he said. "I'm actually pretty happy with where we are, and I think the contrast between Governor Romney and me is going to get wider and wider and clearer and clearer over the next few weeks."

Earlier, Mr Gingrich said he expected Mr Romney to win in Nevada, partly due to the state's high Mormon population. Mr Romney is a Mormon.

Mr Romney won Nevada in his previous bid to be the Republican presidential candidate in 2008. (+ video) » | Sunday, February 05, 2012

Mormon Romney to Win in Nevada and Leave Rest in Scramble for Delegates
THE GUARDIAN: Elections in Nevada are usually colourful, but the result this time is not in doubt: Mitt Romney has this one sewn up

Nevada will be an easy win for Mitt Romney on Saturday, based on his performance in the 2008 Republican presidential race. Even with Romney coming off second best to John McCain in many states elsewhere, Romney easily won the Nevada caucuses, with 51.1% to Ron Paul's 13.7% and John McCain's 12.75%. The reason: Mormons.

Although they only make up about 5% of the adult population in Nevada, they accounted for an estimated 25% of Republican caucus-goers four years ago. Does it follow that a Mormon will automatically vote for a candidate of the same faith? Well, in 2008, 5% voted for someone else. But the staggering statistic is the other 95% voted for Romney.

A PPP poll suggests that Saturday's caucuses will not be significantly different; Romney on 50%, Newt Gingrich 25%, Ron Paul 15% and Rick Santorum 8%. (+ video) » | Ewen McAskill in Washington | Friday, February 03, 2012

Nevada : Les Tea Party contre la réforme de santé
20MINUTES.ch: Sarah Palin a appelé samedi des milliers de conservateurs réunis près de Las Vegas à sanctionner les démocrates.



L'ancienne gouverneure de l'Alaska s'est adressée à une foule de 7.000 personnes réunies par la mouvement d'opposition Tea Party à Searchlight, ancienne petite ville minière du désert du Nevada, où Harry Reid, l'un des artisans de la réforme de santé voulue par Barack Obama, a grandi et possède encore une maison.

Harry Reid «dilapide notre futur», a affirmé Mme Palin. «Quelqu'un doit lui dire, ce n'est pas un simple coup de dés». «Nous n'allons pas rester assis et nous taire», a-t-elle ajouté, assurant vouloir inciter les gens à la mobilisation et non à la violence.

L'ancienne candidate à la vice-présidence américaine a annoncé aux manifestants la fin de la politique du sénateur Reid, du président Obama et de la porte-parole de la Chambre des représentants Nancy Pelosi. «Vous êtes virés», a lancé Sarah Palin. Les organisateurs du mouvement d'opposition Tea Party ont affirmé pouvoir rassembler jusqu'à 10.000 personnes. >>> ap | Samedi 27 Mars 2010

Barack Obama Tells Americans 'Don't Go to Las Vegas'
THE TELEGRAPH: A careless remark by President Barack Obama about Las Vegas has triggered a furious backlash from Nevada’s cash-strapped gambling city and a key Democratic ally fighting a tough re-election battle in the state.

Speaking about the economy at an event in New Hampshire, Mr Obama told Americans: “When times are tough, you tighten your belts.

“You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college. You prioritise. You make tough choices.”

The economy of the world’s most famous gambling and entertainment destination is heavily dependent on tourism and Las Vegans were already incensed by a comment from Mr Obama last year that companies should not use federal bail out money for trips to the city.

Tourism and casino officials said the comment hurt the city after companies cancelled meetings in Las Vegas and re-arranged them elsewhere.

Mr Obama’s latest remark about Las Vegas prompted a swift and angry retort from Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, who has an uphill battle to win re-election in Nevada, which has an unemployment rate of 13 per cent, in the November mid-term elections.

“The President needs to lay off Las Vegas and stop making it the poster child for where people shouldn’t be spending their money,” he said in a statement. >>> Toby Harnden in Washington | Wednesday, February 03, 2010

Hillary Wins Tight Nevada Caucus
BBC: Hillary Clinton has won a fiercely contested election in the US state of Nevada, according to projections based on 88% of the vote count.

Preliminary figures show Mrs Clinton with 51% of the vote, to 45% for Barack Obama. Both candidates have fought hard to win the support of Latino voters.

US TV networks project a big win in the state for Republican Mitt Romney.

The party's contest in Nevada has been overshadowed by a closely-fought primary being held in South Carolina.

Voting continues in the first southern state to hold a primary, where Republicans John McCain and Mike Huckabee, who appear to be the frontrunners in a very tight race, have focused their efforts.

But a win in Nevada for Mr Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, could give him a useful boost going into the next primary vote in Florida. Clinto wins tight Nevada caucus >>>
