A political "Super Saturday" of sorts

Lest we forget (or not care), from ABC's The Note blog:

Three contests in two states separated by 2,000 miles make for an extraordinary Saturday in the race for 2008, in a day that's likely to shrink the Republican field and give a Democratic frontrunner a distinct edge.

Call it Shootout Saturday, since it's time to break some ties. With Republicans voting in suddenly snowy South Carolina, and both parties holding contests in Nevada (on and very far off of the Vegas Strip) the day will determine [several questions, click here.]

Mitt Romney is already the declared winner of the Republican Nevada caucus. Ron Paul, Huckabee and McCain, it appears, are all fighting for second place as the returns trickle in.

Meanwhile, the Democrat Nevada caucus and the Republican South Carolina Primary are taking place today and the polls close (I believe) at 5PM EST and 7PM EST respectively. So check back.

Ya know, it could be mildly important....
