SUPER-DUPER F*CKING TUESDAY

Mike Huckabee sure seems like a neat fella.
He looks like a Care Bear, but if you just read his stuff you kind of get the feeling that he'll install giant deathbots at the US-Mexico border and in gay districts all around American cities. When questioned by the press, he'll respond with a charming "aw, gee," and all will be immediately forgotten.
Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are both infinitely more likable than Hillary. She just seems mean. But she also seems more professional and ready to take care of business than either of the other two. Hillary's crowd is crazy.
Man, it's been a while since I've heard Barack speak. When did he slip into this whole preacher gimmick?
I liked it. It reminds me of King's style. I found it to be a powerful speech.
So Clinton got California. They aren't sure of the exact percentage though.
She got Mass. which was a kick in the Kennedys' knee. But Obama showed that he a a wide appeal amoung demographics except amoung Lationos and white women. Obama won states all over the country.
Interestingly enough, there has been more Democrats turning out in every state than Republicans, except Florida, where there wasn't any Democratic campaigning because of the delegates being stripped.
The popular vote is 49% Clinton and 48% Obama. And Obama is heading a movement that is still gaining momentum. And it really looks like that DC, Maryland, and Virginia are in Obama's favor. These states will be voting next tuesday.
In January Clinton raised about $13 million, while Obama raised about twice as much. And while most of Clinton's backers have maxed out the amount they can donate, Obama has more backer's who have contributed less, with the potential to give more.
As for the Republicans, I gotta give Huckabee his due. He really blew away the expectations of most, with many thinking he would drop. Will he get the nod? Probably not, as the states where he had the most potential have passed, but I admire his dedication. It's hard not to like him. I have to remind myself of his policies. Not sure what he achieved in terms of winning though. Some suggest it makes he a front runner for the VP spotlight. I'm not so sure.
Mitt Romney should be disapointed with Huckabee stealing the stage. He defintely underperformed this Super Duper Tuesday. And the way its looking now, McCain may take all of the California delegates from Romney.
While McCain was definitely the "victor" on the Republican side, he definitly did not achieve the unofficial title of the Ultimate Candidate.

As of right now the state count is
Obama: 13
Clinton: 8
(New Mexico still hasn't been declared)
I think the most important thing to take from this day is the new divide between Clinton states and Obama states. Clinton won almost all the traditionally democrat states, while Obama did better in swing states and traditionally republican states. This probably will continue to occur in the primaries to come

It's depressing to see how much influence superdelegates have on the process. Even in some of the states that Obama won, Clinton got more delegates; in the states she won, she often got disproportionately huge amounts of delegates. Look at California, where she beat him by just 10%, but got almost double his delegates, or Missouri, where Obama narrowly won but Clinton got 2.5 times his delegates. Why do we even have this system, anyway?
