Clinton, Romney win Nevada, South Carolina Closes in 2 Hours

I jammed my finger yesterday afternoon, and don't feel in much of a mood to type, but I have to report this:

With 85% of precincts reporting, Hillary Clinton is leading Barack Obama 51% to 45%. John Edwards has finished a dismal 3rd with 5%.

With only 56% reporting, Mitt Romney leads all his rivals by 40 points. He has 53%, followed by Ron Paul and John McCain at 13%, Fred Thompson at 8%, Mike Huckabee at 7%, and Rudy Giuliani at 4%.

This is a huge blow for McCain, hails from Arizona. The states' proximity should have given him an advantage. The truly important event tonight, though, is South Carolina. If McCain wins, he will have it wrapped up. If Huckabee wins, which I think he narrowly will, then Giuliani really could win Florida, confusing things enormously.

Two hours to go. Happy primary day to you all.
