we've got 28 delegates in the state here in nevada. it's proportional. unlike florida which was a winner take all state. it's proportional. and unlike florida, it's only open to registered republican voters. 125 overall. and unlike iowa, remember in iowa all those caucuses started aet the same time in the evening? herite is different. it varies by county. here in clarke county, most of the caucuses are in the morning. some are going to be in the and and there's one evening caucus as well. the first results will begin at 8:00 eastern, 5:00 local, susan. >> could there be any surprises here? we're seeing in the polls mitt romney is going to come out ahead. what about ron paul? are we counting him out? >> reporter: ron paul came out ahead here and there's a strong libertarian front in the street. listen. it's almost like home field advantage. you mentioned the mormon vote. he is a mormon and he swept that vote four years ago. take a look at this. this is the most recent poll. there's mitt romney up top, 20 points ahead of newt gingrich. you can see paul and santorum further down. gun gric gingrich, nothing at all like romney. as for paul and santorum, paul spent some time here, but they've both moved on. paul in minnesota and santorum in colorado. more activity, more volunteers getting ready. guess what? there's also a rummage sale outside of the school. so you cannot only vote in the caucus but check out the rummage sale. >> as the day goes on, the activity will increase. a program note. join fredricka whitfield every sunday afternoon for a special hour dedicated to the presidential contenders in the 2011 election. tonight our expanded coverage starts at 6:00 prime minister with a special edition of "the situation room" and join wolf blitzer, anderson cooper and john king for all of the results. right now the u.n. security council is meeting about the deadly violence exploding in syria. the details are horrific from what we've heard. women and children affected as well. while that is happening a wave of protests going on there as well. in syria, anti-government activists say the military is randomly bombing residential neighborhoods in homs. activists say as many as 260 people have been killed in one day. cnn has not independently confirmed the results. here's what one activist told our anderson cooper last night. >> they're bombing this area for like three hours. they've been bombing with mortar shells and tank shells. civilians went down to welcome the syrian army. they bombarded it randomly with mortar bombs and tank shells. in the first half hour we've got 40 people dead. now we've got about 200 dead all around homs. there's no people underneath the destruction. we can't move them. all the buildings are full of bodies, of human beings. there's kids den, women dead, men dead. we can't get medication in. we're trying to get medication in there. we can't help them. now it's happening all around homs. they're bombarding us. they're trying to move bodies out on the street. people are getting killed just to move a body from the street. just to move the body so they can bury them and they're getting killed for moving the bodies. that's bravery. no one's helping us. u.n. isn't doing anything about it. the arab nation isn't doing anything about it. people are sitting here and they're dying. the syrian people are not going to stop. they're going to kill millions. we will remember no one did anything about this. >> it is chilling to hear that account. that's danny on "360." joining us now is senior correspondent richard roth. as you hear from that account, danny is saying the u.n. is not doing anything about it. what are their options, and, really, what's on the table today? >> well, if i could make that cheap segue, the odds are all over the board right now on whether the security council will indeeding at this morning in new york regarding syria. the russiaens are really, depending on your viewpoint either stalling or asking for a more balanced resolution. the russian ambassador entered along with many other ambassadors for the security council for a rare saturday session. they ee ail behind closed doors but russians had late amendments to the resolution. the key thing that the ambassadors are considering is that this arab league came to the new york security council table and said we need you to back our peace plan with president assad giving up control to a deputy. now that was dropped from this resolution. but still in the resolution really is the heart of the plan, endoshsment of that plan. if the russians don't really want to go along with that because they're a main assad ally, then there could be a russian veto and for the second time in three or manpower months it could go down in flames. the u.s., the french, the german ambassadors furious beyond patience now. they say it's time to act. the russian foreign minister, susan, in munich today said, look, we just want a constructive approach by the security council and we don't have a problem with the resolution. some say this is just stalling tactics, so we're going to find out. could be some real furious words over the security council table in a few hours. they're right now still discussing for about an hour and a half this resolution yet again. back to you. >> we'll see what happens. richard roth, thank you. thousands of demonstrators braved frigid weather in moscow to rally prime minister vladimir putin. there's also a pro-putin rally going on in moscow. these demonstrations are seen as a test for putin with just about a month to go until he runs for president. in washington the occupy d.c. camp is being raided right now by police. that was earlier today. they're in full hazmat gear, checking tents at a downtown park near the white house. police told the crowds that i were not there to evict protesters but to check for compliance to the no camping laws. the move comes after a federal judge tuesday rejected an only pie d.c. demonstrators' request to keep park police enfrom enforcing a ban on two parks. >> a group of hackers known as anonymous, they're at it again. this time they secret lid recorded a phone call between fbi and scotland yard discussing the investigation into hacking a i tacks. a law enforcement force tells cnn this is basically vandalism. the fbi is now investigating. if you're enjoying hard boiled egg this morning, consider this. a minnesota company is recalling around a million precooked eggs that went to 34 states. you see them in yellow. the states could be tainted with listeria. none of the eggs went straight to consumers. most will i they went to grocery stores anned other stores so you may find it in egg salad and other prepared salads. for more information go to fda.gov. israel warns time is running out for iran to abandon its nuclear program. will the u.s. intervene?

we take a look. >> hi, susan. these days advertising on tv isn't enough. it's all about the internet. a lot of sunday's commercials are already on line trying to generate buzz. we spoke to marketing expert mark stevens. he says advertising during the super bowl is a popularity contest and does little to sell a product. for example, one ad set to air sunday from cars.com has a guy with two heads talking to a dealer about buying a car while his smaller head since -- ♪ let's get those keys and drive ♪ >> it's a little weird. mark stevens claims it's a waste of money sniet h. >> it has nothing to do with cars. nothing to do with cars. it's bee vis and butthead of the '80s. businessmen would never, ever give their own money to it. that to me is the acid test. >> steven says you need a strong message that resonates long after the super bowl ends and you need to make sure the product is the thing people remember, otherwise there are probably better ways for a company to spend its ad dollars. unless, of course, that company is one that advertises every year, like coca-cola or budweiser. it's almost as if it's not the super bowl without a good commercial from one of those guys. these companies have deep pockets, large ad budgets, and can afford to spend millions of dollars on a flashy ad. stevens says that's fine, but the primary purpose of the ad isn't to boost sales. >> there is a place for advertising. you know, well rounded company like anheuser-busch, budweiser is a very well managed business. they don't rely on the super bowl to be their primary drive over success. generally speaking from what i've seen, and i've studied this, they do not return the investment. it's really an investment. it's a cost. they don't return the cost of the super bowl commercial. what it does, however, is make the company or the advertising agency feel good. it's a pride factor. >> the real winner from the marketing standpoint is the nfl and the network airing the game. they continue to get huge audiences. that means the networks can keep raising ad prices. price this year are $3.5 million to $4 million for a 30-second spot. susan?
