romney spent yesterday courting business owners at a northern nevada building supply company. he made president obama his primary target during the visit. romney criticized the president's handling of the economy saying the recovery has taken longer than it should have because of white house policies. romney said as president, he would be a friend of employers and entrepreneurs. >>> meanwhile, newt gingrich has made the gop front-runner his target. the former house speaker met with a few hundred voters at a country western bar in las vegas and derided romney calling him obama light. gingrich also seized on romney's comment he isn't concerned about the very poor. gingrich said it was a bad choice of words for a quote very wealthy man and example of what republicans don't want for a candidate. >>> we're following a developing story out of syria, where more than 200 people have been killed in clashes between rebel and syrian forces. it appears to be the deadliest. nbc's ammayman is in cairo. >> reporter: good morning. it is being described as an up rice ricing against syrian pres

we're keeping it real. órp0s@ (adam)the sierra nevada mountains in northern california are home to someof the most pristine wilderness in the u.s., including yosemite and sequoia national parks. but in recent years, the sierras have also become one of the biggest marijuana growing regions in the world. the dense forest provides great camouflage for growers and is difficult to navigate by land. but by air authorities scan the rugged terrain for any signs of marijuana production.

mitt romney, the clear front- runner here in nevada, was in the northern part of the silver state while newt gingrich and ron paul focused their events down here in and around vegas, where three-quarters of the state's population resides, by the way. gingrich spent much of yesterday trying to liken mitt romney to president obama, calling him obama lite and again trying to use romney's not caring about the poor people gaff earlier in the week to his advantage. take a listen. >> my goal -- is not to ignore or forget the poor. my goal is to turn the safety net into a trampoline to allow the poor to rise and be like the rest of us. [cheering] >> despite all of that, the former massachusetts governor is wildly popular here in nevada. remember, he won this state back in 2008, with 51% of the vote. and again, all of the indications point to a very similar outcome today. that's the latest. we're live in las vegas, casey steigel, ktvu channel 2 news. >>> no candidate has won back- to-back states yet so it will be interesting to see if mitt romney can do that! thank you, casey. >>> time is 7:17.

nevada. there could be more states. some republicans think they can do better in the northern midwest. take this for the sake of argument out. at home, this is a hypothetical. people get mad, i assign your state to somebody else this is a hypothetical. let's assume for example the republicans take ohio and indiana. let's assume president obama, especially because of his help for general motors and chrysler keeps michigan in his column. let's assume florida goes republican in this scenario and let's split these two. these are big states, big swing states. let's give the president virginia, he pulls that out again. the republicans keep north carolina. then we come west. at this point, 256 to 253. you need 270 to get there. let's say new mexico, because of the latino vote, president obama keeps that one. what about the state of iowa? for the sake of argument, let's say the republicans grab that one. then out here to colorado, okay, why don't we do that? we'll come out here and give this to the republicans. look at this, 267-262 as you come to the west, you have to get here. the line is he

mitt romney, the clear frontrunner here in nevada, was in the northern part of the silver state finishings, and newt gingrich and ron paul, focused their event in and around sin city where three quarters of the state population reside but the former massachusetts governor has a clear advantage. remember, he won this state back in 2008 with 51 percent of the vote thanks largely in part to the large mormon population making up 20 percent or so of the electorate four years ago. officials expect no more than 60,000 people to turn out and caucus today when mitt romney won in 2008, more than 44,000 showed up so a larger town out is expected this year. we will be here and keep you updated through the day, guys. >>clayton: thank you, casey, this is the second time they have gone through the caucus process because in 2008 this was new. not like iowa, old hat they know to get the people out, and you stand up and talk for two minutes about your candidate so it is not like you can wonder in, you have to sit and listen to speeches. >>dave: for romney it is not just the mormon population but about infr

states where republicans have to win, northern virginia, a moderate area, this is a state that republicans have to get back. the southwestern states, new mexico, nevada, colorado. all important swing states. you look at suburban columbus, you look out across ohio, suburban philadelphia. i mean, he has disqualified himself fundamentally from being able to win a general election in this country. and what's amazing about the debate we're having in the republican party is that there's a significant percentage of the republican voter out will that actually thinks these are winning issues to carry into a general election, and there's no amount of evidence, no amount of empirical data that will convince them otherwise. so i think you're going to see a very, very interesting fight start to play out here over the next week, next couple of weeks in the republican party on these issues. >> well, as we all know, when a candidate steps into a new territory, let's call it theology, on a saturday, and they're asked about it on sunday, and they're still talking about it on monday afternoon, then something deliberate's going on. let's listen to rick santorum talking

northern maryland and west virginia j about an inch. we'll talk about that. >> today, mitt romney hopes to solidify his position as front-runner as nevada republicans kawasaki to make their choice for the gop nominee. if the latest polls are any indication, romney will have another big day after a convincing win in florida earlier this week. the former governor has a 20 point lead over rival newt gingrich over likely caucus goers in the latest las vegas journal news poll. >>> santorum and paul are in distant third and fourth place. romney spent yesterday courting business owners at a supply company. he made president obama his primary target during that visit. he criticized obama's handling of the recovery saying it's taken longer than it should have because of white house policies. he said as president, he would be a friend of employers and entrepreneurs. meanwhile, newt gingrich has made the gop front-runner his target. the former speaker met with a few hundred voters at a country western bar in las vegas and devideded romney, calling him obama-like. gingrich also seized on romney's comment he isn't very concerned about the very poor. gingrich said it was

are far-reaching, extending beyond the mesas and plateaus of northern arizona and calling into question water uses even in california and nevada. the legislation we introduce today however would resolve many of those issues. in exchopping for legal waive,the navajo nation and hopi tribe would receive critical drinking water infrastructure, with three groundwater projects contemplated by this act would deliver much-needed drinking water supplies to the impoverished areas of the navajo and hopi reservations. it is also important note that this settlement would facilitate water deliveries to the eastern part of the navajo reservation through the navajo gallup water supply project, a project that has not only been approved by congress but was one of 14 projects chosen by the president in october for expedited environmental review and permanenting. -- an permitting. although the project may deliver water to navajo communities in arizona, such deliveries cannot occur until the navajo claims in arizona have been resolved. this settlement accomplishes that goal. reallocating water for delivery through the navajo gallup pipeline. this

nevada. we had three events across the state yesterday in reno and then northern part of the state and back inrmon vote here is a big deal which ron already mentioned. the second thing is people know him out here not as a governor of massachusetts and not even as much as a businessman but as the guy who saved the olympics next door. you find he gets better applause lines for all of the times he mentions the olympics. folks here, a bunch of voters yesterday i met drove in from salt lake city and wanted to see this guy again. he is well known out in the west. in regards to colorado it's a similar situation. another big western state and another state with a strong mormon population and another state that knows him as the guy who save the olympics. these are states that they think they can really build a bit of a firewall in february before newt gingrich gets a chance to get any wind back in his sails and win a couple of in a row. >> any concern about voter complacency? sometimes someone is so strongly projected to win, you know? nice day outside. you want to go do other things. you may worry abo
