Nevada victory shifts momentum to Hillary
Nevada’s presidential caucuses gave Ms Clinton a big boost, powering her to a second straight win over Barack Obama in the first western contest of 2008. She fared better than Mr Obama among women, as she did in New Hampshire, and showed significant strength among hispanic voters.
But Mr Obama won decisively among black voters, who could account for more than 50% of the voters in South Carolina’s primary next Saturday. And Nevada’s likely delegate count appeared to be almost evenly split between the two, indicating a protracted delegate battle yet to come.
