      Clinton's Numbers Spell Trouble

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton took half the Democratic vote in Florida's primary but the numbers should still give her as much to worry about as to celebrate, writes the Nation .

      Clinton Wins Fla.; No Delegates

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary in Florida tonight, but she'll have no delegates to show for it, the AP reports.

      SC Expects Record Turnout

      (Newser) - Democratic officials are expecting record voter turnout for today’s South Carolina primary because of sunny skies and appealing candidates, the State says.

Go ahead,” the candidate said, taking a swipe at Letterman's head in return. More »

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama drowned out policy talk in a South Carolina presidential debate tonight as they bickered over Ronald Reagan and what Obama called Clinton's "corporate" past, CNN reports.

      Edwards' Biggest Role to Come

      (Newser) - John Edwards may be a longshot to win the Democratic nomination, but he could wind up anointing the eventual candidate, and not just as a spoiler.

Who he throws them to could sew up the nomination. More »

      Nev. Caucuses Fascinating Next to SC

      (Newser) - Just hours before voting begins in Nevada, its newly bumped-up caucuses are more crucial for Democrats than South Carolina's primary, blogs Sasha Abramsky of Mother Jones . Yes, Nevada has powerful unions, but it's more complex than that: outlying areas are conservative and rural, and the state is a third non-white. "For the Democrats, there’s a lot to play for in Nevada," Abramsky writes. More »

      Candidates Talk Health Care, But Not Their Own

      (Newser) - With health insurance heating up campaign trails, NPR takes a look at how the candidates are covered, and finds not all of them forthcoming. Sitting senators are eligible for a federal plan, which is good but no panacea—packed with co-pays and deductibles. John Edwards reports he and his family are covered through his campaign. But Romney, Huckabee, and Thompson declined to share details about their own coverage, or those of their staffs. More »
