No surprises here: Mitt Romney has taken an early lead in the Nevada caucuses, taking 62 percent of the vote with 15 percent of the vote tallied. Newt Gingrich is currently in second place with 16 percent, and Ron Paul is close behind him with 15 percent. Rick Santorum so far has 7 percent of the vote. One voter seemed to support Romney, saying, “We’ve got to get a businessman in there. Obama seems like a nice-enough guy, but he has no idea what he’s doing.” Another said that while he would like for Gingrich to get the nomination, he would support any Republican, “even Ron Paul, who I think is a freak.”
