Newt Gingrich celebrated his win in the South Carolina primary with a fundraising blitz — a two-day push to raise as much money as possible. The campaign says it brought in $2 million. That money will come in handy in Florida. But the need for quick fundraising shows the precarious state of the Gingrich campaign's finances.

Nacogdoches – or Nac, as they say here – is home to about 33,000 people. Residents have helped welcome hundreds of refugees from Myanmar, also known as Burma.
Though some states have cracked down hard on illegal immigration, one small Texas town has rolled out the welcome mat for hundreds of foreigners and wouldn't mind seeing more move in.
It started about a year ago when a chicken processing plant in Nacogdoches, Texas, announced it would hire a couple hundred new workers, all of them refugees from Myanmar, also known as Burma.
"The initial reaction, it wasn't as good as it should have been," says Nacogdoches Mayor Roger Van Horn.
