Las Vegas Review Journal endorses Romney

This is a major endorsement for Mitt coming into Saturday's Nevada caucus. I don't get why the GOP caucus doesn't get equal coverage with the Democrat one on the same day. Could be because just like Wyoming where Mitt won by margins unseen anywhere else in this race so far, he's going to run away with this one and it doesn't fit their "unsettled field" story. Well enough of my rants, here's the editorial and some take away lines I'll excerpt here:

EDITORIAL: Romney best pick for state Republicans

You might not know it, but there's also a Republican caucus in Nevada on Saturday.

Each GOP candidate can make -- and has made -- a reasonable case that he's best suited to ensure the party again embraces the ideas and concepts that made this nation a beacon of freedom and economic opportunity. But in our opinion, the viable candidate most likely to lead Republicans in such a direction is Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.

Mr. Romney has extensive experience in the private sector, which is unusual for far too many politicians. Before becoming governor of Massachusetts, he was the president and CEO of the Salt Lake City Olympic Organizing Committee. He is a former vice president and CEO of Bain & Company Inc., a Boston management consulting firm, and also a founder of Bain Capital, a private equity firm.

We urge Nevada Republicans on Saturday to support Mitt Romney.
