So Laddies, Super Tuesday has come and gone (and I updated what could be updated in the Super Tuesday post) and some candidates did better than others. For the Republicans, John McCain was the man to beat, and sadly for Huckabee and Romney, he could not be beaten. Mitt Romney dropped out of the race, so really it's up to Huckabee, but I doubt that he'll get ahead. At this point, it's more than obvious that John McCain is going to be the Republican candidate for President.

Super Tuesday! Part Deux!
Now, on to the Donkeys. I was surprised that Obama did so well in the primaries. Granted, he did not win New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, or California, but he did win Connecticut (as well as 16 out of 22 states, not including New Mexico, because the winner has yet to be determined). A lot of people like Obama, but alas, Hillary has more delegates at this point in time (she's leading Obama with 892 delegates to his 716, which is very close indeed). So, I can't even predicted (or I'd rather not, in fear I might be wrong) who the Democratic presidential candidate will be. But look at it this way, America will either have an African American or a female president come 2009!

So, apparently Clinton has 912 delegates to Obama's 741 delegates. It's still a fairly close race. As of right now, I have no clue who has won New Mexico. *sighs*

Super Tuesday!
UPDATED!!! (2-7-08)
So, seeing as Super Tuesday, which was a very super day what with the Parade of Champs for the NY Giants and with the Primaries in 22 states, I feel the need to present you with the winners of the primaries.
For the Democrats:
Hillary Clinton has won:
- Arizona - 50.5% of the vote, 25 delegates
- California - 51.9% of the vote, 207 delegates
- New York - 57.4% of the vote, 121 delegates
- New Jersey - 53.8% of the vote, 54 delegates
- Massachusetts - 56.2% of the vote, 55 delegates
- Arkansas - 69.7% of the vote, 10 delegates
- Oklahoma - 54.8% of the vote, 24 delegates
- Tennessee - 53.8% of the vote, 24 delegates
Barack Obama has won:
- Alabama - 55.8% of the vote, 10 delegates
- Delaware - 53.1% of the vote, 9 delegates
- Illinois - 64.6% of the vote, 68 delegates
- Georgia - 66.4% of the vote, 22 delegates
- Missouri - 49.2% of the vote, 36 delegates
- Colorado - 66.6% of the vote, to be determined
- Minnesota - 66.5% of the vote, to be determined
- North Dakota - 61.1% of the vote, to be determined
- Connecticut - 50.7% of the vote, 26 delegates
- Kansas - 74% of the vote, 15 delegates
- Utah - 56.6% of the vote, 14 delegates
- Idaho - 79.5% of the vote, to be determined
- Alaska - 74.4% of the vote, to be determined
Now for the Republicans: (yeah, so I don't care too much about who won what percentage of the votes for the Republicans because it doesn't really matter much. Who ever wins, wins all of the delegates from that state, whereas with the Democrats the percentage determines how the delegates are split.)
John McCain has won:
- California - 146 delegates
- Oklahoma - 32 delegates
- New York - 101 delegates
- New Jersey - 52 delegates
- Illinois - 54 delegates
- Connecticut - 27 delegates
- Delaware - 18 delegates
- Arizona - 50 delegates
- Missouri - 58 delegates
Mitt Romney has won:
- Utah - 36 delegates
- Colorado - to be determined
- Massachusetts - 22 delegates
- Minnesota - to be determined
- North Dakota - 8 delegates
- Alaska - to be determined
Mike Huckabee has won:
- Alabama - 21 delegates
- Arkansas - 29 delegates
- Georgia - 45 delegates
- Tennessee - 25 delegates
Now, that seems to be all at the moment. I'll probably update this as the night goes on! (This makes my head hurt)
