Poll question: Who WON Super Tuesday...24 Hours Later
who do you think won super tuesday, now that we've had a day to digest it all, based on;

momentum
delegates
states
fund raising
soon to come endorsements?
media spin
co-workers
family
etc....

and most importantly...why?

2. Obama did. He got more delegates and more states. Face it..
if Hillary had gotten more states but fewer delagates she would be claiming a victory like in NV. As it happens Barack won both. :)

3. Obama was supposed to be stalled, if not stopped, by Super Tuesday
He answered the media's question "Is America Ready For a Black President?" with a such a vengeance that he's raised another two million dollars! Investing in his momentum isn't a pipe dream anymore, which means much bigger returns on his political "capital."

8. Obama
It seems the media has been riding him a lot harder since Super Tuesday -- welcome to front-runner status, Barack.

9. The inevitable candidate was brought to a stand still, we find out she is broke,
and it looks like she is going to try and pull a "Double Rudy" and wait for Texas and Ohio to come to her.

12. Republicans won because their party is unified now and they will
now have months to rally their base against the dems in general.

S**t.

13. Obama won, because he met his expectations
and exceeded them to a slight degree.

Everyone's forgetting--thinking he would win overwhelmingly was quite a stretch...Clinton had leads in Cali, MA, and NY (duh) going into it, and those were the three largest delegate prizes, really. What he had to do was keep it close--he stole a few small states out from under her, picked up some surprising popular vote wins (Missouri?), and managed to keep the gap in those aforementioned states respectable while snatching up a bevy of Southern and Midwestern states that he needed to win and win big.

He did all that. when you're the underdog in politics, you don't need to win.

14. Obama only needed to do OK. Clinton needed to SWEEP. Because going in to next round
of states is smoother waters for Obama.
