Mitt Romney Cuts Loose Brett O'Donnell, Perhaps Out Of Ego

How Ego Trumped Strategy

Not that anyone doubted Romney would win Nevada, what with the state's sizable Mormon contingent and his boffo showing there in 2008. Even so, the governor's team must be feeling pretty good with another win under its belt, especially as the heretofore frenetic cage match enters a bit of a lull. Between now and the 10-state Super Tuesday voting extravaganza on March 6, Romney faces only a couple of friendly primaries, one debate, and next week's CPAC conference.
