Super Tuesday

Well, the results are in, and Super Tuesday seems like it just added more fuel to the Democratic election's fire. While Hillary is still on top statistically, Obama did way better than expected, and I think Tuesday's elections serve to indicate that he now has an even better chance at winning the Democratic nomination come August. In addition to grabbing more States (Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and Utah) than Hillary, at this moment he's only ONE pledged delegate under her, a difference that's essentially meaningless. Also, considering how well Barack did with the regular-people States (as opposed to New York and California, where Hillary got some of her biggest boosts), I think it's fair to say that with around half of the country left to vote (most of which consists of States similar to the ones Obama already proved he can win), he has a REALLY good chance of clinching a lead in the upcoming elections.

And, hot of the tails of our biggest Super Tuesday to date, we've already got elections from Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State, Maine, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia within a week's time (with more to follow soon), combining to offer 350 delegate votes between them. All this said, the last election isn't until June, so we've got a ways to go, but overall, I'm feeling pretty good about Barack's chances to take this nomination.

Definitely a great Super Tuesday in my book...
