Tomorrow's contests in South Carolina and Nevada will be an important test of whether establishment candidates still have a shot in this election year.

That means constructing a 10-mile light rail system from, say, McCarran International Airport to North Las Vegas City Hall would cost from $250 million to more than $1 billion.
