I'm a Mormon from Salt Lake City and I'm also an ardent Ron Paul supporter. I find it disheartening that this article marginalizes Ron Paul by describing his supporters as a "cult following". Usually when media uses the word "cult" in their reporting of the 2008 presidential primaries it is in reference to the Romney's Mormon religion!
How ironic is it that if Romney wins Nevada it will be in large part due to the "Mormon vote". Similarly, how sad is it that Huckabee won Iowa in large part due to the "Evangelical Christian vote".
A vote cast for a presidential candidate should be placed based on where the candidate stands on the issues and not because of their religious affiliation. Dr. Paul, more than any other candidate, is the best qualified to address issues such as fiscal policy, monetary policy, foreign policy, civil liberties, constitution rights, etc.
I strongly urge all Nevada Republican caucus attendees to seriously read up on where Ron Paul stands on the issues (RonPaul2008.com).
Mathmatically speaking, caucusing is not a very democratic way of selecting a candidate that represents who the people truly want. Nevada should have a true presedential democratic primary that is open to all registered voters.
Here's one good idea for disenfranchised democrats: attend the Republican caucuses and vote for Ron Paul, the only anti-war Republican. That way, regardless of whether Hillary or Obama wins the democratic nominee, at least there will be two anti-war candidates who can fix this country!

I didn't support Mr. Paul at my caucus, but why should Nevada support a candidate that never came to our state to campaign, because Republican party leaders tell us to? McCain didn't even come to the convention. At least the Paul supporters have a candidate that cares enough to learn about us. What is un-American is to shut out qualified candidates. To vote for someone I don't believe will represent my concerns because I'm told to is to give up one of my most precious rights. I admire the people who stand up for change. Besides, Mr. Paul made a very impressive arguement for liberty and sound money at the convention.
Ron Paul gained more support in the Nevada caucuses than McCain, so now that Romney is out it would make sense that the majority of the delegates would be awarded to him.
