an a-paul-ling outcome in nevada

mitt "don't call me baseball glove" romney handily won the nevada caucus today (in part, due to a large turn-out of mormons), but the amazing thing is that as of this writing, ron paul is in second place.

w/95% of the precincts reporting, romney garnered 52%, ron paul 13% w/5,342 votes, and john mccain w/5,243.

if our calculations are correct, this is the third primary/caucus in which ron paul has beat rudy 9iu11ani, losing to him only in new hampshire, and then only by less than 1%.

in other news, hillary clinton won the democratic caucuses, 51% to obama's 45%

addendum: cannablog rightfully points out that obama actually won more delegates than clinton, 13 to 12. and democrats.com has a state by state breakdown of votes/delegates comparison for ron paul vs. rudy.
