It was a busy weekend for all the Presidential candidates. With primaries in Nevada and South Carolina happening on Saturday, the race for the White House continues to heat up.

Mitt Romney and Senator Hilary Clinton came out on top in Nevada, while Senator John McCain took the top spot in South Carolina.

Romney, who won the Nevada primary by more than 40 percent, was very visible this week campaigning in the western state while his fellow Republicans spent most of their time in South Carolina.

The Clinton and Obama camps continued trading shots with each other on Saturday. Both campaigns were making claims of vote suppression, with former President Clinton claiming to see it firsthand.

The drama continues with Democrats heading to South Carolina and Republicans on their way to Florida.

Senator Hilary Clinton (D-NY) also came out on top in Michigan. Clinton was the only Democratic front runner on the ballot. Democratic Party officials decided to strip Michigan of its delegates for its decision to schedule their primary so early.
