Romney wins Nevada caucuses

By DAVID ESPO

Republican Mitt Romney won Nevada's caucuses Saturday while John McCain and Mike Huckabee dueled in the South Carolina primary, a campaign doubleheader likely to winnow the crowded field of presidential rivals.

Democrats shared the stage in Nevada, where Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama vied for a caucus victory and the campaign momentum that goes with it.

Romney's western victory marked two straight successes, coming after a win in the Michigan primary earlier in the week that revived his campaign.

WTF! Don't caucuses generally last longer than 1030 am?

1. Both parties had early primaries.

The Repukes were scheduled to end at 9:30 local time. The Dems at 11:30, IIRC.

3. That seems..... undemocratic?

2. Doesn't even begin until noon PST.... 12 minutes from now n/t

4. Ok, so now I'm reading more and it looks like the GOP had their caucus at the crack of dawn

And the Dems have theirs at noon.

5. They've called it based on entrance polls

CNN said that they are waiting until actual results come in.
