I like the following to be rewritten.

Not that anyone should be surprised.

He has really worked Nevada.



The weekend's drama was reserved for Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium, not the Las Vegas strip.
Mitt Romney scored a 25-point victory in Saturday's Nevada caucuses, performing strong with every key demographic.
Not that anyone should be surprised.
As Jon Ralston, the dean of Nevada political journalism, put it on Friday's NewsHour, "Romney has been running for president here and elsewhere for many years.... He has really worked Nevada."

Paraphrase:
No one should be surprised (Not that anyone should be surprised) It was expected.
Romney has been running for president for many years. He has put in a lot of effort in Nevada. (He has really worked Nevada.)
