Race Matters Emerge Ahead of S. Carolina Primary
As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton squabble over race, fellow Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards enters the fray — trying to peel off enough votes to give him a chance in the crucial South Carolina Democratic primary on Jan. 26. More than half of the Democratic voters are expected to be African Americans.
The skirmish about race started when Clinton commented that Martin Luther King's dream of racial equality was realized only when former President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Republicans Poised for Battle in Michigan Primary
Voters in Iowa and New Hampshire have voiced their preferences in the presidential race. Now, voters in Michigan go to the polls on Tuesday in a contest that focuses primarily on the Republicans. That's because the National Democratic Party stripped Michigan of its delegates for trying to hold its primary before Iowa and New Hampshire.
The election is a chance for John McCain to build momentum, and a possible last-ditch effort for Mitt Romney.
