Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday didn't go quite as well as I hoped in some states (Cali, Mass, NJ) but all in all, it isn't a bad result at all for Obama.  It truly is a split decision, Obama won more states (13 to 8 right now with NM still up in the air) but Hillary did better in the big states.  To show just how close it is, the total 'popular vote' for each candidate as of 2:30 AM tonight (using CNN's numbers) is 6,212,188 for Obama and 6,186,726 for Hillary.  For Obama to compete like that nationally really is impressive, especially considering he was losing in just about every one of these states two weeks ago besides Illinois.  The states coming up favor Obama so if he can stay within 50-100 delegates after everything is tallied up today, then he has a legit chance to have a lead in delegates by the end of the month.  It really is still up in the air but I'm hoping that having the primaries spread out more now will benefit Obama, as will his money advantage.
