Declaring victory in Nevada's Republican presidential caucuses on Saturday, Mitt Romney again turned away from his GOP rivals and toward President Barack Obama.
He began his presidency apologizing for America,” Romney told a crowd of supporters at his campaign headquarters in Las Vegas. “He should now be apologizing to America.”
As with his huge victory in Florida, Romney enjoyed a large enough lead in a blow-out win in Nevada to be declared the winner as soon as the polls closed there at 10 p.m. Eastern time.
With nearly half of the vote in, Romney held about 43% of the vote while former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 25% and Rep. Ron Paul had 19%. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who had largely bypassed the state, had 12% of the vote. Those numbers were gathered from vote counters at caucus sites across the state and the state's Republican Party.
Romney thanked his supporters, telling them that, “This isn't the first time you gave me your vote of confidence, but this time I'm going to take it to the White House,” alluding to his win in Nevada in 2008 (John McCain was ultimately the GOP nominee).
