Clinton, Romney Win in Nevada

Posted by ralph on January 19, 2008

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, powering past Barack Obama in a hard-fought race marred by last-minute charges of dirty politics. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney easily won Nevada’s lightly contested Republican contest.

Clinton’s victory marked a second-straight campaign triumph for the former first lady, who won an upset victory over Obama in last week’s New Hampshire primary.
