After John McCain's win in South Carolina and Mitt Romney's wide victory in
Nevada, Republican candidates are looking ahead to Florida. McCain's
win in South Carolina has suddenly propelled the Arizona Senator into
the position of frontrunner. The Florida primary on February 5 th
is likely to weed out the still-substantial pool of Republican
Candidates. As for the Democrats, the Nevada caucuses are over but
the high stakes politics have not subsided. Accusations of dirty
politics that began in Nevada are still permeating through the
campaigns. Even though Hillary Clinton won in Nevada, the quirks of
the election system there will likely gives Barack Obama more
delegates – And in the end, it's the number of delegates, not
popular vote wins, that seals the nomination. FSRN's Leigh Ann
Caldwell files this report from Las Vegas.
