Nevada bounce for Romney?

Mitt Romney coasted to a huge victory in Saturday's Nevada caucus, but will the former Massachusetts governor see a bump as the nominating process hits Florida?

It's doubtful. None of the other frontrunners campaigned here in the weeks before the caucus, enabling upstart Ron Paul to snag second-place -- his best yet. And Romney placed a disappointing fourth in South Carolina's primary Saturday, a percentage point behind Fred Thompson, who has failed to get his footing in the race.

According to Real Clear Politics' average of six Florida polls, Romney is in third place. He trails John McCain and Rudy Giuliani.
