Loading ...Super Tuesday Update, The Day After
February 6th, 2008 by SteveAlaska goes to Romney.
New Mexico is split about 50-50 so its delegates will be split; we’ll find out later who gets bragging rights. That’ll be the last update whenever NM gets announced. Below are my thoughts on the results.
Big, BIG night for McCain (who all but secured the nomination though Romney and Huckabee might be able to pick off enough delegates to prevent him from getting a majority) and Obama. If the delegates play out as most are projecting, Obama will actually LEAD in pledged delegates after yesterday and heading into the favorable February 9th and 10th caucuses [and one primary], followed by what will be an interesting Beltway Primary Tuesday on the 12th. He has a path to the nomination now, a very clear path, though it is by no means over.
After the 12th, we have the Wisconsin and Hawaii primaries on the 19th. There’s a two week break before we have several important states on March 4th, including Ohio and Texas. There’s Wyoming on the 8th, Mississippi on the 11th, and then… nothing for 6 weeks. And then, holy crap, my state votes in a contested presidential primary. April 22nd. There’s 5 contests in May, the 6th, 13th, and the 20th, followed by 2 contests on June 3rd. And that’s it. Gonna be a fun ride!
Interesting side note: McCain failed to win a majority in his home state. Conservatives really, really do not like him. I have no idea why.
