The Washington Post reports that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is focused on Nevada's Saturday Republican caucus, while his opponents focus on South Carolina, whose Republicans hold a primary on the same day:
"In a press conference at the Sun City Hilton Head Retirement Center, Romney told reporters that he was focusing on Nevada because it had a total of 34 delegates, as compared to South Carolina's 24. South Carolina's are binding; Nevada will be choosing 31 of its delegates Saturday, who will not be appointed until April 26, and even then are not bound to backing a specific candidate.
'I'm planning to get the nomination. I'm not looking for gold stars on my forehead like I'm in first grade," he said. "I'm looking to rack up the delegates I need to win the nomination.'"
The campaign has announced he'll be here later in the week.
