Ron Pual places 2nd in Nevada

Ron Paul finished in 2^nd place behind Romney followed by McCain in the Nevada Caucus. Ron Paul may have lost the popularity vote but, he basically won the delegate battle. Romney supporters did not want to be delegates which left the majority of the delegates to Paul.

On March 5th county conventions will elect delegates to the April 26th state convention. Only then are the national convention delegates are elected. There he could end up winning most of the state delegates.

He also received 51 percent of Independent votes who voted Republican.

The South Carolina primaries are also today but I don’t believe he will finish any higher than 4^th or 5^th.
