It might actually be Nevada.
Nevada's caucus was composed of two parts. A non-important straw poll for media purposes (what the media is reporting), and the selection of delegates that would vote at the county convention, and eventually, the state convention.
As you can see from results of Nevada precincts posted here at ronpaulforums, in most precincts, the majority of delegates were for Ron Paul (they did not have to announce who they supported but we knew who they were).
There were tons of Romney supporters, all wearing the same stickers on their shirts (even though no one was handing them out at the school) and the same strange postcard in their hands. And everytime one of them would come in through the door, he or she would know all the other Romney supporters.
It was a concerted effort of the Mormon Church members (exit polls show 95% of Mormons voted for Romney), HOWEVER, most did not understand the importance of delegates.
My precinct got half the delegates for Ron Paul, as well as just about all other precints I could ask about.
Nevada will not be announcing delegates until the state convention. But I am quite sure we have more delegates than all other candidates.
So, Nevada might actually be the first gold... the media of course will not talk about that possibility.
Louisiana did a great job tonight and hopefully we will have more official results tomorrow. We here in Nevada unfortunately have to wait until March for official numbers...
