Nevada caucuses could give Rick Santorum and Ron Paul an opening | Washington Times Communities

Nevada caucuses could give Rick Santorum and Ron Paul an opening | Washington Times Communities: EASTON, Md., February 2, 2012 — Let the fun begin. Now that the Florida dust-up, aka the primary, is over, the candidates are out West, trying to wrestle up some campaign magic. This month some key states will be holding four caucuses (yes, caucuses again) and two primaries. The caucuses will be in Nevada, Colorado, Minnesota, and a seven-day caucus in Maine while Arizona, Missouri, and Michigan are holding primaries.

Confused yet? Maybe a look at the primary schedule through March at the end of this column will make things a bit clearer.

While it’s true that former Mitt Romney has come out of Florida stronger than ever, he’s not invincible. In fact, Rick Santorum is already telling Colorado that in their caucuses next Tuesday that “it is time to reset the race,” by going with him, noting that Newt Gingrich had his shot, but that his erratic remarks have made people nervous. With me, Santorum promises, “You will not have to worry everyday when you open up the paper: ‘Oh, what did he say today? What planet are we going to colonize next?’” referring to Gingrich.
