LAS VEGAS -- Thousands of Nevada Republicans are caucusing today to cast their vote for a GOP presidential candidate who will go up against President Barack Obama in November.
GOP caucuses began as early as 7 a.m. in the state capital of Carson City, with a "vote and go" option for shift workers and others unable to attend the regular caucus meeting. Depending on the county, caucuses were scheduled at various times throughout the day.
The Nevada caucuses are the first-in-the-West Republican presidential contest and the fifth in the nation. Romney carried the state four years ago, benefiting in part by the large Mormon presence in Nevada.
Paul finished second in Nevada in 2008, and is counting on continued support Saturday from a loyal base attracted to his libertarian, anti-government and anti-tax message.
State GOP leaders expect 50,000 to 60,000 voters -- out of 400,000 active registered Republicans in Nevada -- to participate. At stake are 28 delegates to this summer's Republican nominating convention that will be awarded proportionally based on the outcome of Saturday's contest.
