...important role in the Democratic race. That's partly because the Republicans have their all important South Carolina primary on the very same day (the Dems' is a week later, on the 26th).

One third of Nevada's 2.5 million people are Hispanics, Asian-Americans and blacks, according to 2004 census figures.

Lee's camp responded by saying their candidate had "exaggerated" his involvement with the company in the video, and reiterated that Lee did not found BBK. But despite renewed questions over his possible involvement in the stock scandal, most observers believe a Lee victory is still all but certain. With outgoing President Roh Moo Hyun deeply unpopular because of his perceived failures to create more job opportunities or to combat rising housing prices, Korea's electorate seems more eager for a leader...
