Ensuring that the 2012 GOP presidential nomination race was not over yet, Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina primary Saturday night. Gingrich received over 40% of the votes, while presumed front-runner Mitt Romney garnered  just under 28%.

Rick Santorum and Ron Paul both finished with percentages in the teens, although both will remain in the race for now. The Denver Post did not place too much emphasis on these two candidates in its coverage of the primary.

The Denver Post was on top of the primary, printing an article the day before the primary that previewed the upcoming primary and what was at stake. Its follow-up coverage did a good job of not only giving all the facts but what they meant and why they were important (e.g. "What does it mean for the upcoming Florida primary now that Gingrich has won South Carolina)

I was impressed with the Denver Post's coverage of the primary and its significance, and its "Nation and World" section definitely does a good job of informing its readers on what is going on in the 2012 race for the White House.
