MCCAIN TAKES SOUTH CAROLINA, ROMNEY TAKES NEVADA From Robert Novak:  It means that McCain by any measurement is the front-runner for the Republican nomination. He leads in Florida's Jan. 29 primary, and a victory there would send him into what is virtually a national primary on Feb. 5 threatening to wipe out his competition.  (RealClearPolitics) 

A THOUGHT PROVOKING COLUMN FROM MY FRIEND MICHAEL MEDVED From Michael Medved:  It’s obvious that the big winner in South Carolina was John McCain (grabbing 33% of the vote in a hard-fought win and 19 of the 22 awarded delegates).

MORE FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND SOUTH CAROLINA And later: … even among the most right wing segment of the South Carolina electorate, talk radio failed – and failed miserably – in efforts to destroy and discredit Huckabee and McCain.  (Townhall)  From Ruffini:  Mitt Romney is fast becoming the candidate of conservatives in the suburbs and the exurbs. In Michigan, he dominated Oakland and Macomb counties with 46% of the vote in a multi-candidate field. In Nevada, he won most convincingly in Clark County. In Iowa, he did better in Des Moines than elsewhere in the state.  (Townhall) Meanwhile, Giuliani camps in Florida.  (Boston Globe)  But few polls have him leading – as it’s pretty jumbled near the top.  (RealClearPolitics)  An early morning “developing” story by Drudge claims Rasmussen now has Romney up in Florida by 5 over McCain.

ABORTION STUDY:  MOST ARE OVER 25 AND HAVE ALREADY HAD A CHILD Also according to the story:  A disproportionately high number are black or Hispanic. And regardless of race, high abortion rates are linked to hard times.  So Miriam Inocencio, president of Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island spins it this way: "Women face years and years of reproductive life after they've completed their families, and they're at risk of an unintended pregnancy that can create an economic strain."  FOX News
