The Winners- McCain, Romney and Clinton







McCain's win in South Carolina was an important one. Historically, the Republican winner of S. Carolina for the last 28 year has become the GOP presidential nominee. With 93 percent of the precincts reporting last night, McCain was leading Huckabee 33 percent to 30 percent. Fred Thompson's apparent third-place finish in South Carolina, barely ahead of Romney, could be a fatal blow to Thompson's campaign.

For Republicans, the Nevada results followed the poll predictions: With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Romney had about 51.1 percent of the vote to about 13.7 percent for Representative Ron Paul and 12.7 percent for McCain.

Clinton won 51-45 percent over Obama. Edwards came away with a disappointing 4 percent of the vote. Clinton showed her strength among two significant voter groups. She carried a 3-1 margin with Latinos, and did nearly as well among women and white voters. Obama carried African American voters by a 5-1 margin, and also appealed to younger voters. Voter turn out was very good.
