Then the race moved from the monochrome fields of Iowa and the overwhelmingly white exurb known as New Hampshire into Nevada and South Carolina. The Nevada population is one-quarter Hispanic, and typically about half of South Carolina Democratic-primary voters are African American. Within hours of reaching those states, the contest between Clinton and Obama acquired a racial text and subtext that posed dangers for both candidates. The spat subsided only after the candidates stepped in to defuse the tension and return to the sort of post-identity campaigns that both will need to run in the general election...
...anxiety that is keeping Americans awake at night can be very different, depending on who they are and where they live. Job losses are dragging down real estate prices in industrial-belt states like Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. But the reverse is true in states like California, Florida and Nevada, where the collapse of a speculative real estate market is threatening jobs. In the Northeast, voters are more concerned about the impact of soaring energy prices on the cost of their home heating oil.

...rival will now continue to have access to plenty of money to contest his unusual campaign in all of the states over the next few weeks, including Nevada, South Carolina, New York and California. He has had to watch Clinton march on to his rhetorical ground, as she overhauls her on-the-stump-image and tries to make the theme of change her new best friend. And perhaps most importantly, she has been kicked to the ground by the voters in the first fortnight of the new year and gotten back on her feet - a huge psychological boost in politics...
