Pretty smart move by the McCain supporters, West Virginia is a winner take all state. Instead of Romney winning with 47%, they voted for Huckabee, who combined with McCain's totals will keep those delegates from Romney, McCain's only real competition. BRILLIANT!

looks like huckabee also gave ron paul three of the delegates to attain his victory. Romney not happy that all three of the other candidates teamed up against him.

Probably that Hillary's husband keeps that cottage industry of theirs alive by being one of their best customers.

How does CNN know the latino, female, age, black, white, etc breakdown of the votes? Ive never really payed much attention to this part of the US electoral process before.

Aren't there controversies about the validity of exit polling every single election in the US?

Probably, I just dont recall seeing demographics broken down like that before. They way they were talking about it it sounded as if you had to give out or age, race and sex on the ballot.

still only being a Canadian citizen i cant vote here in the Eu Ess Eh, but i'm truly surprised at clinton winning the big states. If i did have a vote, it'd be for Obama. One can only hope the young voters really come out when it matters.

to be fair, since i cannot vote I don't put too much effort into learning the system. But is not winning the larger states, and getting more delegates, more important than the total number of states won?

its likely the delegates will split amongst the 2, there is till along way to go and apparently the more voters get to know the candidates they begin to lean towards Obama. So I guess you would call super Tuesday a draw

fair enough. I only caught the cnn feed after the flames game ended. It was w/o audio at the bar, I only saw they had Clinton way ahead in "delegates".
