Going into the presidential contest, Mitt Romney held a commanding lead, according to a survey from Public Policy Polling. The former Massachusetts governor was running with 50 percent support and comfortably ahead of rival contenders former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum.
HuffPost's Mark Blumenthal notes that polling in Nevada had been scarce leading up to Saturday's caucus.
SCROLL DOWN FOR MAP
Romney took the Silver State in 2008 with 51.1 percent of the vote, and Paul came in second with 13.7 percent, according to The New York Times. Sen. John McCain, the eventual nominee, finished third with 12.7 percent of the votes cast in the contest.
Nevada has 28 delegates that are awarded proportionally.

Ive got some homework, so lets have some fun discussion. lulz
But entire counties in Nevada have fewer people voting today than showed up at our little neighborhood Democratic caucus in January. And since the candidacy was uncontested, all we were doing was arguing about party platform stuff and trying to scare up enough delegates to send to the county convention. (The national press didn't even notice Democrats were caucusing. They were too busy boggling over the fact that we have a convenience store chain called Kum-and-Go.)
ETA: I just looked it up. The population of Esmeralda County in 2008 was only 667 people.
