Super Tuesday Winners and Losers
Tom Fudge: Yesterday was the biggest single day of presidential primaries in the history of American Democracy. It was the kind of day when so many delegates were at stake that it was bound to answer some questions about the race. On the GOP side, Super Tuesday showed us pretty clearly, that Mitt Romney was on his way out, and John McCain was on his way to becoming the Republican nominee. On the Democratic side, it was a different story. Clinton and Obama were in a virtual tie. Obama won more states. He got 14 while Clinton only won eight. But Clinton won the big ones: California and New York.
