Republicans Reward Romney
Sun, Jan 20, 2008 (2 a.m.)
There were a few surprises on the Republican side of Nevada's caucuses on Jan. 19, but Mitt Romney wasn't one of them. The former Massachusetts governor — who had done extensive campaigning in Nevada, and had extremely strong support from his Mormon ties in Utah — won just as easily as he was expected to. But things spiced up slightly for second place when Ron Paul edged out John McCain.
