Nevada/South Carolina

The Nevada Caucuses occurred today for both the Democrats and the Republicans and the South Carolina Primaries happened for the Republicans.

Mitt Romney won by a mile [51%] in Nevada with Ron Paul coming in at second place [14%], which is quite surprising. Hillary Clinton won Nevada with 51% and Obama came second with 45%. Edwards came in a distant third with a disappointing 4%.

In South Carolina, John McCain won with 33%. Huckabee followed with 30%, then Thompson with 16%, and Romney, the Nevada winner, came fourth with 15%.

The delegate count shows:

Republicans:
Romney 66
McCain 38
Huckabee 26
Thompson 8
Paul 6
Giuliani 1
Hunter 1

Democrats:
Obama 38
Clinton 36
Edwards 18
Gravel 0
Kucinich 0

Remember during all last year, the very clear front runners were Giuliani and Clinton? Who's leading now?

South Carolina Primaries are next for the Democrats which will be on January 26. This state should show a clear winner and widen the tight race between Obama and Clinton [in favour of Obama].

Florida Primaries are next for the Republicans [and Democrats have it on the same day, but no delegates] and this is where Giuliani 'hopes' to win big. January 29th is the date that will make or break the once front runner and may even show a clear winner elsewhere.

'Super Tuesday' is coming up quick. Mark your calendars: February 5th.

That's all for Franny for today [and maybe the next few days]. Good night, and good luck. [By the way, my delayed order for 'Truth and Consequences' came in today =D Should I study or read?]
