Uncertain GOP Race Shifts to SC, Nev

WASHINGTON - The race ever more chaotic, four Republicans are angling for superiority in a fast-approaching presidential primary in South Carolina, a state known for rough-and-tumble politics and predicting the outcome of the GOP nomination. Although Nevada holds caucuses Saturday as well, the spotlight is on the first-in-the-South primary; no Republican since 1980 has won the party nod without a South Carolina triumph. “Truly anything can happen,” Katon Dawson, the state party chairman, said Wednesday, hours after Mitt Romney won his native Midwestern state. “Michigan just shuffled the deck. It’s a whole new game in South Carolina, and, with the undecideds, it can go any way.”
