Media outlets are calling the Nevada caucuses, giving Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney victory. With about twenty percent of precincts left to report in, Hillary edged out Obama and Edwards 50-45-3%. Romney won with 52% of the vote. Battles over second and third are still ongoing. Ron Paul is leading John McCain, 12.95-12.69%, and Huckabee leads over Thompson, 7.7-7.53%.
There seems to be some voting machine problems in South Carolina. John McCain is seeking a court order to allow voters in Horry County an extra hour to vote because of the problems. They're also fighting wintery weather in the state, which is expected to depress voter turnout.

UPDATE: Duncan Hunter is calling it quits. Current SC numbers have McCain leading Huckabee, Thompson, and Romney, 35-29-16-14% with 60% of precincts reporting.
UPDATE: They've just called South Carolina for John McCain. With 93% of precincts reporting, McCain leads Huckabee, Thompson, and Romney, 33-29-15-15%. Good for Fred, as third place will help keep him alive until Super Tuesday. Bad for Huckabee, who loses a Southern state. He didn't do well among evangelicals either.
