The Nevada caucuses are just a day away, but Mitt Romney is the only Republican who has spent significant time this week courting Nevada caucus-goers.   Most of the Republicans are focusing on the South Carolina primary, which happens tomorrow as well.

Meanwhile, the South Carolina Democratic primary isn't for another week, so Democrats are concentrating all their efforts in Nevada.   At the top of the agenda for the candidates is the economy.  As President Bush releases a plan mitigate financial woes, Democratic candidates are touting their own stimulus plans.   Nevada is a state where foreclosures and the housing slump are hitting particularly close to home.  FSRN's Leigh Ann Caldwell takes a look at what the Democrats are proposing.
