Well, despite my disappointment that California laid a stinker for Obama, it was an interesting night and I think the fact that it's still neck and neck on the Democratic side could bode well for Obama since he has more money and I think overcomes voters lack of familiarity (Clinton is a brand name in Democratic politics) when he can spend time in a state campaigning, which he now will be able to do to some degree with the upcoming states that hold primaries or caucuses in the next week. It'll be interesting to hear from Drew who attended the Idaho caucus just what it was like, Idaho actually gave Obama his biggest margin of victory of any Super Tuesday state.
It's amazing how much this election cycle has bucked the trend. First, you have no sitting president or vice president running in either party. Second, the whole idea of having a "Super Tuesday" was to have a winner picked on both sides so focus could be turned to uniting the party and focusing on November. DOH! Also, this from CNN about the Democratic side:
Of all the votes cast on Super Tuesday for the two candidates nationwide, the two candidates are only separated by 0.4 of a percentage point.
Wow.
But really, when you boil it all down, with all this politickin' and stuff, don't you just wish for a simpler time.
