Politics Today: Does Trump's Endorsement Matter?, Ron Paul Bets On Nevada, And More
Angle Endorses Santorum: In another less touted endorsement that most people also probably do not care about, former Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle (remember her?) has endorsed Rick Santorum. In a statement to the National Review, Angle said: "Rick Santorum and I have known each other for years. He is a strong fiscal and social conservative who stands on principles above politics. He has never wavered in his support for family values understanding the impact that strong families have on a prosperous economy. His continuous opposition to Amnesty, Obamacare, the bailouts, and cap and trade are a perfect fit with our Main Street Tea Party movement." Will Angle's endorsement make a difference in the Nevada caucuses? Probably not.

In Nevada, which is holding it's caucuses this Saturday, Romney is poised for a blowout win, a Las Vegas Review-Journal poll showed.

Paul's Nevada Strategy: Saturday's caucuses in Nevada represent a critical test for Ron Paul's presidential campaign. Paul chose to skip the winner-take-all Florida primary in order to focus his efforts in the upcoming caucus states of Nevada, Colorado and Maine. It's all part of Paul's larger strategy to win delegates in states where they awarded proportionally. The results of this strategy could ultimately help make Paul a major force to be reckoned with in the GOP. According to The New York Times, "whether he wins or loses in Saturday’s caucuses, Mr. Paul is likely to be a force to be reckoned with should there be a fractured nominating fight that drags on throughout the spring."
