| Democrats vie for Latino vote in heated presidential race
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama today launched their battles for the Latino vote, recognising the influence of the country's fastest growing community. Tonight's scheduled Democratic debate in Las Vegas, to be held as results from the Michigan Republican primary come in, takes the competition for votes in Nevada to a new intensity. The state holds its caucus on Saturday, and with only limited polling in the state so far, defies efforts at prediction. A poll of 500 likely caucus goers for the Reno Gazette-Journal yesterday showed a very narrow lead for Obama over Clinton with John Edwards close behind. It's a dead heat in statistical terms. However, it reflects a gradual erosion of Clinton's double digit leads over Obama last autumn. On the Republican side, where Saturday's caucus has been overshadowed by the party's primary in South Carolina on the same day, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee had the top three slots, but the leads were again statistically insignificant.
