Mitt Romney won the Nevada caucus, and a new poll has him neck and neck with President Obama. So how are Ron Paul supporters taking control of the Nevada GOP? We'll ask a couple of them. Plus, early voting gets underway this week in the race to fill Steve Wolfson's spot on the Las Vegas City Council. We'll meet another hopeful.

  1. Ron Paul's only problem is that he can only win in a Caucus where his minimal number of supporters can game the system.

    His motto should be: The only thing holding me back is that I can't win an election.

  2. The Ron Paul campaign is absolutely intelligent, they have turned the establishment game against them.

    It was a clear victory, with overwhelming support for Ron Paul was indeed present there as they chanted "Ron Paul" at the Republican county convention, as the new Executive Board was elected. We easily outnumbered any other supporters there, we knew it when Chairman Dave Gibbs asked us to stand up. The Ron Paul R3voLution is a beautiful thing to participate in and watch blossom.

    Thank you Jon Ralston for having them on your show! Shout to Las Vegas Sun for reporting on the best!

  3. Actually the Ron Paul supporters were all just packed into the ballroom with the journalists, so it appeared like an overwheliming majority - the other two ballrooms had very few Paul supporters.

  4. It amazes me that when the SHOE is on the other foot the GOP thugs come out in droves to WHINE""how does it feel to get beat at your OWN corrupt game??? I attended the Nevada convention in Clark County and the lies here about what went on are disgusting!! Dr. Paul is a man of principles and integrity for some here to say he isn't following the rules of our REPUBLIC is just plain LOONEY".nearly all the state caucus and primaries had election rigging and voter fraud against Dr. Paul"..not to mention that the MEDIA WHORES only report on what the other 3 STOOGES are up to""WELL".wake the $&^#*#^ up AMERICA"..Dr. Paul is working for WE the PEOPLE"..one day you will be thanking him and his supporters for being smart enough and brave enough to take on the ESTABLISHMENT and the THUGS of the Federal Reserve System".if you had a lick of sense you would be out there helping get this man put in the White HOUSE!!

  6. It would be great if we could take all the good parts and points of each candidate and combine them into one person.
