in nevada. the choice of the republican establishment in the state of nevada. she lost to this person. >> will you answer some questions really quickly? >>> i have to go. >> you don't have any --. >> we're running behind. >> you're not willing to answer what second amendment remedies means? >>> sharon angle lost to harry reid in that senate race. obviously. nevada republicans are a mess. they have been a mess for quite a few years now, nevada republicans inability to get it together, to get out the vote for sharon engel, who was ahead, the most famous republican in the states castrating cats in las vegas and talking to local columnists, the nevada's part pure fecklessness is what makes it so interesting. in a year defined by anti-establishment feeling in the party, in nevada we have something unique going on. in nevada there is no establishment. the ron paul campaign has been saying for weeks now their strategy is to do well in nevada and other states that have caucuses. their strategy to take advantage of the organizational strength and rack up as many delegat

next will be nevada, a key caucus state for the candidates. rick santorum already in nevada. ron paul campaigning in that state as well. again, most states have the por portional delegate count, if you come in second or third you'll still garner some of the delegates leading up to the convention in august. the florida primary is a winner take all. the votes will go to mitt romney or newt gingrich. >> nevada families lost everything in the housing crisis, newt gingrich cashed in. gingrich was paid over $1.6 million by the agency that helped create the crisis. >> i offered advice. a historian really? sanctioned for ethics violation, he resigned from congress by disgrace. if newt wins, this guy would be very happy. >> i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. >> the lastest from the nevada caucus, a reminder that we'll have live coverage and a chance to call in at 8:00 p.m. eastern. a smul cast on c-span and on the radio. you're listening to "washington today." let's turn our attention to syria and action by secretary of state hillary clinton who traveled to new york telling t

so he's got florida roots, nevada roots. sheldon addleson, fiercely pro-israel, so playing to that contingent. he is an elderly man who is putting up all this money. now, between him and his wife, they are the principle funders of paid media. and after this last debate tonight, that is basically what is going to fuel the gingrich campaign. >> not since, you know, not since joe kennedy did this for his son have we had one person be so financially invested in one presidential candidate, and basically save candidacy. i mean, it was the outside ads that saved gingrich's candidate in south carolina. without it, gingrich doesn't win south carolina. and it may save him again in florida. it's making him competitive. gingrich is raising a little -- a decent amount of money on his presidential campaign, but nowhere near the impact that the super pac ads have had. so this idea of having one person, one household, if you will, in this case, being able to bankroll an entire -- like i said, we haven't had this since before the days of wat

nevada, he's already had some advertising by the nevada paper. so far he hasn't bought anything. super pac had some effective ads running. newt gingrich has to figure out a better answer for what he did for the company other than being a historian. >> right. nobody seems to accept that. >> he was not in the contract. >> of course, absolutely. where will newt's resources come from if he loses tonight by more than ten points? >> first, i just have to point out, i saw an unbelievable stat related to that that 92% of the advertising dollars spent in florida were for negative ads. 92%, which i just find shocking. the big question is sheldon adelson or another one of his family members willing to kick a bit more into the super pac. newt raised about $5 million. he has enough money in his own campaign to continue flying around the country and going from state to state. i think he's serious when he says he's going to keep going. >> even a billionaire caseino owner will look at a double digit defeat and realize it isn't worth betting on? >> he plays to win. i don't want to get inside his

nevada leads the nation in foreclosures.came to town before he spoke to the review journal editorial board, the meeting formed the basis of that endorsement today and he gave that famous quote that the market has to hit bottom before it can start to rebound. now, president obama and the state of the union speech laid out a proposal for a program that would save about $3,000 for the average homeowner if they refinance at lower rates. so you have two different visions how to deal with this problem. foreclosure is probably number one and ray mentioned jobs. that's number two. nevada leads the nation in unemployment and these candidates have got to come and say something about that. mitt romney said, look, if you elect me, we'll get more jobs. so that's something that i think voters will want to hear. the economic issues really do dominate the discussion more than anything else. >> steve sebelius and ray hager, thanks so much, gentlemen. thanks for your time. >> thanks. glad to be here. >> all right. >> all the best as we lead u

they are coming to nevada. you guys always forget nevada, chuck. they are coming to nevada next.ee what he does once he gets here. >> i have to say is nevada competitive or not? let me ask you that. there's been speculation that adelson is forcing gingrich to compete there in a way that maybe strategically he ought to lessen the importance of it. >> in 2008, the exit polls showed that about a quarter of the vote was lds. mitt romney won here easily as you recall. he got 51% of the vote. john mccain didn't even compete here. ron paul finished second with 14%. romney is the favorite. he's been organizing here. never left actually after 2008. but listen, i think gingrich has some support here. don't forget ron paul did very, very well here in 2008. i think they are more organized this time. i don't think you can discount paul here or in any of the caucus states. >> let me ask you this about what's going on here with adelson. what's been surprising to me is the romney campaign has not -- they've attacked newt gingrich on everything from his past but not for having a loan backer keepi

it looks rough in nevada.he weather is going to help out considerably. >> devastating and dangerous. thank you. >>> the polls are now officially open in south carolina. let the rush begin. voters in the state are getting their chance to pick the republican presidential nominee. here is where they stood in the last cnn time orc poll earlier this week. romney on top. gingrich second. santorum third. that was before the cnn debate thursday night and rick perry's departure. gingrich has been surging since then. an adviser is predicting a six point win in the state. don lemon is joining us from south carolina. it's great seeing you. is anybody at the polls yet? it's 7:03 right now. >> reporter: are you kidding me? if you wouldn't have done that fire thing, you would have seen them running in here. are you ready to vote? this is a county that decided the election in 2008. they believe they are going to decide this election as well. they had a dozen people lined up. right at 7:00, they said the polls are official ope

nevada is a caucus state, the next on the list. what has gingrich got going in nevada?rich has a great game. nevada is even more complicated because ron paul is more organized there. he has been spending months on the ground. gingrich has a pretty good operation. what you're seeing is very interesting. tea party groups are coalescing around gingrich with all of his flaws. and they're saying he is the anti-establishment candidate. that's really going to help him. remember, what put gingrich over the top in south carolina? tea party groups. in florida? tea party groups. in nevada an interesting coalition. keep an eye on it. >> ed rogers, you wanted to say something? >> well, nevada is going to be a footnote. florida is a headline. and if romney wins by a big number, it's going to be hard to see how the trick birthday candle of newt gingrich's candidacy flickers back to life. he is going to stay in the race there is no reason to get out. but a big win in florida, that person is going to be our nominee. a big win. if it's a marginal win -- >> it's about delegates. it's abou

about nevada these days. he hasn't caught fire here but his base of support here is not going anywhere. it's not as big as iowa or new hampshire but it's steady. i continue to believe that ron paul can stay in this race as long as he wants to. he's got the money and support. gwen: and he has a message at an interesting time. >> i think i mentioned this iowa. how the number of evangelicals i encounter who are being attracted to ron paul and his message. he was at an evangelical gathering on monday and was talking about the biblical basis of strong money, which had not -- i had not heard him say before. gwen: in some ways, he is also, in his way, an anti-romney in a race that was longing for one. >> i think that's right. i think his ceiling, though, is more clear than other places here. we saw that at the debate on monday night on national security. it was a very enthusiastic crowd and they were not enthusiastic towards his isolationist views. he has not spent a lot of money campaigning but i'm with chuck on th
