NV caucus: Low turnout. Romney gets lower percentage than in 2008, despite Mormon vote.

Real-time results at this HuffPo page:

With 42.9% of the precincts reporting, Romney is getting 42.5% of the vote, compared to 26.2% for Gingrich, 18.4% for Paul, and 13% for Santorum.

In 2008, Romney got 51.1% of the vote, compared to 13.7% for Paul and 12.7% for McCain.

Turnout seems to be way down from 2008. I believe South Carolina, which Gingrich won, was the only GOP primary so far with more votes than 2008.

And GOP turnout for the NV caucus in 2008 was poor compared to Democratic turnout, 44,000 to 116,000.

We don't know this year's GOP caucus turnout yet, but so far with 43% of precincts reporting, that's only about 16,000 people.

Mormons made up just over a quarter of the caucus participants this year, as they did in 2008:

Romney got 90% of their vote.

That means that approximately half of the votes for Romney -- possibly more than half -- came from Mormons, though they make up only 7% of the population of the state.

This was NOT a resounding victory for Romney.

It shows there really isn't much enthusiasm for his candidacy in Nevada, except among his fellow Mormons.
