The Ron Paul Revolution fights back, Barack Obama cleans up, and Ross Miller shows Sheldon Adelson a thing or two in this week's winners and losers.

Winners

Losers

The Ron Paul Revolution

The move to host the convention boxed in the state GOP and forced them to schedule a convention. Good tactics as usual from the Revolution.

Sen. Hillary Clinton

Some call the end of her campaign a soft landing. Others call it a slow, painful end.

Nevada Republican Party

The state GOP is not shying away from this fight. Calling the convention back to order threatens the legitimacy of the convention scheduled by the Ron Paul team.

Sen. John McCain

The honeymoon of campaigning alone is over now that McCain actually has someone to run against.

Secretary of State Ross Miller

Miller stood his ground and refused any petition appeal on behalf of Sheldon Adelson's group.

Sheldon Adelson

Not a good week for the casino mogul as Secretary of State Ross Miller killed his initiative petitions.

Sen. Barack Obama

Still enjoying the new nominee limelight, Obama added Nevada superdelegates Attorney General Catherine Cortez-Masto and Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid this week.

Rusty McCallister

As the last unpledged superdelegate in Nevada, firefighter boss McCallister waited a little too late for his vote to make a difference.
