2012 Presidential Election, Nevada Caucus | featured news

Coasting to an easy victory over his GOP rivals in the Nevada caucuses, Mitt Romney keeps his focus on President Obama as the nominating contest moves to Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri. Mitt Romney spent years cultivating voters in Nevada, and it paid off with a commanding victory that not only pushed him closer to the GOP nomination but laid a strong marker in a state both parties will fight to carry in November.

Mitt Romney has a chance on Saturday to do what no Republican presidential candidate has done so far this cycle: win two contests back to back.

Three of the four Republican candidates for president will make a flurry of campaign appearances across Nevada on Friday as they seek to get out the vote just a day before the state's caucuses.

The GOP presidential nominating calendar is becoming clearer now that Nevada has agreed to move its caucuses to Feb. 4.
