Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, arrive for a rally at Brady Industries in Las Vegas on Feb. 1, 2012.
Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 | 8:20 p.m.
Mitt Romney is up by 15-20 points after one night of polling in Nevada, with Newt Gingrich poised to finish second, Public Policy Polling reports.
The caucus universe is difficult to poll but Public Policy Polling has done well in Nevada, including the difficult 2010 Senate race almost every pollster blew.
The first night impressions via pollster Tom Jensen:
"Romney leads Newt by about 15-20 points. The main suspense may be whether he gets over 50%, he will certainly have a chance. Paul is 3rd and Santorum 4th, both around 15%. The chances of Paul besting Gingrich for 3rd are pretty minuscule.
"Gingrich is barely above water on his favorability numbers. Santorum is actually the most universally well liked candidate but it’s not translating into intent to vote for him.
"Mormon vote looks to be about 20% of the electorate. And well over half of voters see Romney as the strongest against Obama in the fall."
And now -- call in the cliche -- it's all about turnout.
Why anyone would vote for this creep is beyond me. Mr. Say Anything to get a vote is not my idea of a good choice, it would be like voting for a second term of Obama.
Except you know this guy does not care about the people; at least Obama pretends and lies about it. To make us all feel special.
Here's another great example of controlled media. So "Public Policy Polling" has no metion of RON PAUL? RON PAUL yes, the guy who #2 in Las Vegas 4 years ago, yes RON PAUL??? SOUND FAMILIAR?
I find it odd that people jump on Mitt Romney for being a flip-flopper on moral issues when he's the one with a stable personal life, the one who doesn't have skeletons bursting out of closets everywhere you turn, and the one who has a proven track record of self-made success.
Whether you like him or not, you can't deny that he was an effective bi-partisan governor in Massachusetts (just see how he'll do in their primary), he did turn the SLC Olympic debacle into our most successful Olympics on U.S. soil, and he has made himself (and many others) rich through his hard work and know-how.
If you're worried about his morals, you needn't look any farther than his family and personal life. He has been married to the same woman for 43 years, he has five upstanding young men for sons, he has 16 grandchildren, and he is a faithful member of his religion.
I've seen/heard all I need to know about Mitt versus Newt simply by looking at their family lives and their professional careers.
I, for one, will be voting for Mitt. I can only hope - for our country's sake - that others will do the same.
We need not only a great leader but a visionary; Ron Paul correctly predicted , the economy crisis, and Obama's lie among other things.

Ron Paul has vowed to take if elected his presidential salary to under 40,000 (the median income) leading by example and help with the economic crisis.
RON PAUL has NEVER voted to raise congressional pay.
He has NEVER taken a government-paid junket.
He has NEVER voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted AGAINST the Patriot Act.
He voted AGAINST the Iraq war. He voted For catching Bin Laden.
He DOES NOT participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
