Nevada’s Republican Party has set its presidential caucuses for Jan. 14 — a move that could increase the chances of the 2012 GOP nominating contest beginning in 2011.
Nevada is one of four states that the Republican National Committee has allowed to hold primaries before the rest; the others are Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. All four have moved their contests from February to January after Florida last week jumped ahead of them and set its primary for Jan. 31.

GOP choice of experienced Romney, novice Perry
The GOP presidential field apparently set, Republican primary voters are likely facing a choice between an experienced, establishment candidate in Mitt Romney and an insurgent presidential campaign novice in Rick Perry.
With three months until voting begins, that's the dynamic that's starting to emerge now that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie have said they won't run for president in 2012.
