FSN is continuing to cover the battle for the Republican presidential nomination as the race to challenge Barack Obama in November heads out West.
Tuesday February 7th will see Minnesota and Colorado hold caucuses, just days after Mitt Romney's commanding victories in Florida and Nevada. The former Massachusetts Governor is expected to win in Colorado where he held a rally attended by more than 2,500 people on Monday night in Centennial, a suburb south of Denver.

Here is a story filed by FSN's Steve Mort for AFP Television on the underdogs' Western state strategy.
