Super Tuesday Fallout

Well, I was half-right on yesterday's prediction. McCain dominated but the Obama / Hillary war wages on.

Can a Republican candidate seriously hope to win the presidential nomination by winning on the strength of liberals, independents, infrequent church-goers and those dissatisfied with the Bush Administration? On Super Tuesday, John McCain proved the answer is yes, as long as you also find a way to split the Republican base with your chief rivals. (CBS.com)

The Super Tuesday showdown between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama gave both candidates plenty of delegates and plenty of things to brag about, but did little to bring the party closer to identifying a clear front-runner. (CBS.com)

Results as of 8:50 a.m. Wednesday (CNN.com):

Democrats:
Clinton - 825
Obama - 732
Delegates needed in order to win: 2,025

Republicans:
McCain - 615
Romney - 268
Huckabee - 169
Delegates needed in order to win: 1,191
