...retooled message, focusing on his Mr. Fix-it record and his business credentials, gain traction? The other candidates will be limping into Florida with little money; Romney's wealth gives him the capability to write himself a check for tens of millions. And having won the little-contested Nevada caucuses on the same day as the South Carolina primary, Romney comes to Florida with bragging rights for having won the most votes and the most delegates to date...
...well come further south, in Florida, when the state holds its primary on Jan. 29 and the race for the nomination will essentially be reset. "McCain comes into this thing with momentum, but so does Mitt Romney," says unaligned Republican pollster Neil Newhouse. (Romney won Saturday's largely uncontested Nevada caucus.) "And Rudy Giuliani is waiting down there with a welcome sign. It's the only state where all four of the leading candidates have a shot to win this thing...
...After a distant third-place finish in Iowa, Thompson took sixth in New Hampshire, garnering just 1% of the vote. In Michigan and Nevada he placed fifth, and in South Carolina, a state where he'd invested the bulk of his time and energy outside of Iowa, Thompson was a distant third with 16% of the vote.

African Americans make up roughly 50% of Democratic primary voters in the Palmetto State, and they have been massing to Obama's side in the days since his historic victory in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

In the largely symbolic Michigan primary earlier in the week, 75% of African Americans cast their votes for "uncommitted" because Obama was not on the ballot. "You have to assume we lose South Carolina," says a Clinton strategist...
Despite her surprise triumph in Nevada, the Clinton campaign remains convinced that the nomination battle with Obama will drag on for weeks as each side fights to accumulate delegates. If there's still no clear Democratic winner by Feb. 6?and it looks increasingly likely, given that none of the Feb. 5 contests award a winner all of a state's delegates?the nomination battle could drag on through March, when Ohio and Texas hold their primaries, or even until April 22, when Pennsylvania holds its primary. And if the race is still undecided come May, the Clinton campaign will...
