Nevada is the next battleground for both parties in the race to choose candidates for November's election. So far, no candidate in either party has been able to build up any real steam in a contentious race that has seen five winners in the first five major state contests.&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;http://www.newser.com/2008 - Newseren-usNewser Feed GeneratorWed, 03 Dec 2008 20:47:07 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/36158/west-turning-blue-dems-say.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Mountain West has historically gone for the GOP, but thanks to aggressive grass-roots organizing, Democrats believe they have a shot at turning red states blue, Politico reports. More field offices, opened much earlier than the GOP's, have boosted registration in Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. “This presidential cycle is different,” says the head of New Mexico’s Democratic Party. “The ground game is completely different.”http://www.newser.com/story/36158/west-turning-blue-dems-say.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 29 Aug 2008 8:16:21 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/16908/no-more-mr-mrs-nice-dems.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDespite measured tones at Tuesday’s debate, the Nevada race was a dirty one for the leading Dems, Politico reports. The mudslinging began when Hillary Clinton said the Culinary Workers Union was scaring its members into supporting Barack Obama. The Illinois senator, for his part, did not prevent a union-backed Spanish-language ad which said “Hillary Clinton does not respect our people.”http://www.newser.com/story/16908/no-more-mr-mrs-nice-dems.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 20 Jan 2008 7:35:20 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16903/hispanic-black-nevadans-split-over-dems.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWhite women and Hispanics may have helped Hillary Clinton to her victory in Nevada, but black voters overwhelmingly picked Barack Obama, a trend that may have big repercussions in upcoming primaries, says Politico . Minority groups traditionally side with the establishment candidate, which makes Obama's 83% support by African Americans in Nevada unique.http://www.newser.com/story/16903/hispanic-black-nevadans-split-over-dems.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 20 Jan 2008 5:37:39 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16880/obama-camp-who-won-nevada-you-do-the-math.html?refid=rss_all_defaultHillary Clinton won the popular vote in the Nevada caucuses with 51% to Barack Obama's 45%, but Obama campaign representatives say their candidate won one more national delegate, the Washington Post reports. The Clinton disputes that calculation, insisting that delegates to the national Democratic convention won't even be determined until April 19.http://www.newser.com/story/16880/obama-camp-who-won-nevada-you-do-the-math.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jan 2008 22:14:31 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16871/duncan-drops-out-of-gop-race.html?refid=rss_all_defaultCalifornia Rep. Duncan Hunter pulled out of the GOP presidential race today after winning only 2% of votes in the Nevada caucuses, CNN reports. The San Diego-area lawmaker said that failing to "gain traction in conservative states of Nevada and South Carolina" proved it was time to quit. A long-shot hopeful, he raised little money and almost no attention outside of GOP debates, the Washington Post reports.http://www.newser.com/story/16871/duncan-drops-out-of-gop-race.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jan 2008 19:11:28 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16858/women-latinos-key-to-hills-win.html?refid=rss_all_defaultHillary Clinton won the Nevada caucuses today on the strength of women and Latino voters, claiming her second straight primary victory, CNN reports. With 98% of returns in, Clinton led 51% to 45% over Barack Obama. Despite losing the state's popular vote, Obama earned more delegates than Clinton, 13 to 12, the AP reports.

Workers who weren't pro-Obama would have their schedules changed to keep them from voting, Clinton claimed. “This is ludicrous,” the union’s political director told Politico, noting that workers can take time off to vote without consulting the union.http://www.newser.com/story/16859/nev-union-bullied-voters-clinton-claims.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jan 2008 16:12:51 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16840/como-se-dice-caucus-en-espanol.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIowa and New Hampshire may get most of the crowning glory, but Nevada's demographics make its "First in the West" contest a significant political battleground, the Las Vegas Sun says. As the state caucused today, the hometown paper polishes off the differences between the Silver State and its two predecessors—namely a Hispanic population that makes up almost a quarter of the state's total, and a transient population up 30% since 2000.http://www.newser.com/story/16840/como-se-dice-caucus-en-espanol.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jan 2008 10:58:38 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/16848/romney-wins-silver-state-caucuses.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMitt Romney won the Nevada Republican caucuses today, the AP reports, his second straight victory. Romney nabbed 51% of the vote with nearly all returns in. In a surprise, Ron Paul (14%) edged past John McCain (13) to take second place. Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee both got 8%, and Rudy Giuliani 5%. Exit polls said 25% of caucusgoers were Mormon, and nine out of 10 chose Romney.http://www.newser.com/story/16848/romney-wins-silver-state-caucuses.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSat, 19 Jan 2008 12:28:33 CST
