Mitt Romney’s easy victory in Nevada’s Republican presidential caucuses might, in the long run, be less important than the fact that a surprising number of Republicans who could have participated Saturday chose to stay home.

Turnout was unlikely to match 2008, when 44,000 Republicans participated in Nevada’s caucuses. Complete figures were not released by the state party as of 10 p.m. Saturday, an indication of a lackluster showing.

It's not like Nevada doesn't have Cranky Old Baggers, either:

'She's a spy!': Reporter banned from Nevada caucus

Reporting from Henderson, Nev. --—
I got kicked out of a Nevada caucus.

I had gone Saturday morning to a community center at Sun City Anthem, where I’d interviewed voters during previous elections. A hub for an age-restricted community of mostly retirees, the building was so packed that one precinct had been moved into the lobby.

The chair asked who I was.


“Ashley Powers from the Los Angeles Times.”

So the verdict on my presence was loud, and near-unanimous.

“BOOOOOOO!”

“You’re a bunch of liars!” someone shouted.

“Spy! She’s a spy!” someone else said.


A woman waved a button at me, which said: DON’T BELIEVE THE LIBERAL MEDIA.
