Networks are projecting Mitt Romney the winner of the Republican caucuses in Nevada.
This isn't all that surprising since Nevada has a pretty decent Mormon population. But one has to look at the Republican race so far and wonder how Romney can't be considered the front runner. Huckabee and McCain have placed first in one contest each, with Romney placing second in both. But in three other contests (Wyoming, Michigan, and Nevada) Romney has actually won.
One would have to argue that, as of today - and unless McCain wins South Carolina - Romney should be considered his party's leading candidate.
