ELKO, Nev. (ABC 4 News) - Mitt Romney showed up in northeast Nevada on Friday, as the GOP front runner gathered more support for his Nevada campaign in Elko.
Romney spoke before a group of supporters at the Elko Airport, focusing his comments on President Barack Obama, while ignoring other GOP candidates.
On the eve of the Nevada Caucus,
one poll shows Romney with a 25 point lead over Newt Gingrich, his closest rival.
Romney won the 2008 Nevada Caucus by the same margin.
During his stop in Elko, Romney kept the heat on Obama, saying, "He needs to lead, follow, or get out of the way."
Romney has been attracting larger crowds since his win in Florida on Tuesday.
He's also being escorted by a Secret Service detail.
Many have suggested that the reason for Romney's sizable Nevada lead is the presence of so many members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the state.
Exit polls from Mitt's 2008 Nevada victory showed that a majority Mormons voted for Romney, and represented a substantial turnout at the polls.
