Four years ago, Mitt Romney cruised to an easy victory in the caucuses held in Nevada. If current polls are correct, then Romney should enjoy victory again on Saturday night in the Silver State.
The confidence of Romney's team is shown in their candidate's schedule for Saturday, as the former Massachusetts Governor will hold a rally in Colorado and then return to Las Vegas for his victory party.
Colorado is one of three states holding non-binding GOP votes next Tuesday, along with Minnesota and Missouri.
Romney on Friday continued to tweak both Newt Gingrich and President Obama, as the Romney campaign looks to make sure that there is no resurgence for Gingrich this weekend.
"Newt's caught between the moon and Freddie Mac," boomed the headline on one Romney press release, which again slammed Gingrich's idea of a base on the lunar surface.
Earlier in the day, Romney gave the back of the hand to a positive jobs report from Uncle Sam, turning it back on the Obama White House.
"We welcome the fact that jobs were created and unemployment declined," Romney said. "Unfortunately, these numbers cannot hide the fact that President Obama's policies have prevented a true economic recovery. We can do better."
It was vintage Romney from the past few weeks, as he tries to keep Gingrich at bay and keeps his rhetorical knives sharp for the President as well.
28 delegates are up for grabs in Nevada on Saturday; unlike in Florida where it was 'winner take all,' Nevada will award those delegates on a proportional basis.
In other words, you win 50% of the vote and you get 50% of the delegates.
And for now, that looks like it will be Mitt Romney with the largest share on the GOP scoreboard.
But let's see what the final votes show. Just like in the Super Bowl, the team that is favored doesn't always win.
