Who gets the credit for the GOP winner?
By Wally EdgeWith GOP presidential candidates largely ignoring the Nevada presidential caucus on Saturday -- Ron Paul is the only Republican scheduled to be in the state this week -- the contest may offer some evidence as to the value of endorsements in a race that may be wide open. Here's a list of our GOP stakeholders, along with their percentage in the Reno Journal-Gazette poll - which suggests the possibility of a four-way contest on the Republican side:
John McCain (22%): Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury; and State Senators Dennis Nolan, Mark Amodei and Joe Beers.
Rudy Giuliani (18%): Congressman Jon Porter; Senate Minority Leader Bill Raggio; former Governor Robert List; Reno Mayor (and former Lt. Governor) Bob Cashell; former Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt-Bono; and Wahoe County Commission Chairman Robert Larkin.
Mike Huckabee (16%): No apparent Nevada organization.
Mitt Romney (15%): Former Governor Kenny Guinn, former Congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich; North Las Vegas Mayor Michael Montandon; Clark County Commissioner Chip Maxfield; State Senator Warren Hardy; and Assembly Minority Whip Joe Hardy. Romney also has GOP consultant Ryan Erwin, a former Nevada GOP Executive Director.
Fred Thompson (11%): State Senators Bob Beers and Barbara Cegayske, and former GOP State Chairman John Mason.
