Clinton Wins Nevada

Hillary Clinton wins her second straight nominating contest:
Clinton 51%
Obama 45%
Edwards 4%
That Edwards number is anemic. If he doesn't do even a little better in his birth state of South Carolina next week, then his campaign will be in dire straits.

As for Sen. Clinton...another hearty congrats! And now, on to South Carolina and next week's Democratic primary there.

Side note: The GOP has their South Carolina primary today, and it will be interesting to see whether Huckabee or McCain come out on top. No Republican has been nominated for the presidency without winning South Carolina's primary.

Update: It looks like Latinos have some discomfort with a black president, thus Clinton's 6-point win over Obama in Nevada.
