Super Tuesday News Bits

A few news pieces coming out of today's primaries.

Poll gives McCain lead in most states; Clinton & Obama still close
The final Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll of voters in key Super Tuesday states showed Arizona Sen. John McCain "continued to dominate among Republicans" in most of the states, but Mitt Romney maintained his lead "in delegate-rich California, with 40% support in that state, to McCain's 33%." On the Democratic side, "New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama continued to fight neck and neck for their party's voters and delegates. Obama solidified his lead in California, but Clinton pulled ahead in New Jersey, where the two had been tied in the previous poll." (USAToday.com)

Clinton On Message, and On Television
On the eve of a series of key votes in states around the country, Letterman repeatedly pressed Clinton about her views on the two men who have dominated the news about the Democratic presidential race in recent weeks, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. (WashingtonPost.com)

Musicians Rock For Barack On Super Tuesday
With primary voters going to the polls in 22 states on this Super Tuesday (Feb. 5), a wave of artists as disparate as the Grateful Dead, Will.I.Am, OK Go and members of Pearl Jam are rallying support for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. (Billboard.com)

John McCain Or Barack Obama? Some Young Republicans Actually Can't Decide
Sure, ultra-conservative Ann Coulter is threatening to campaign for Hillary Clinton if John McCain snags the nomination — "She's more conservative than he is," Coulter recently remarked. But while some young Republicans are supporting the Arizona senator all the same, others in the demographic say they're finding themselves drawn, improbably, to the other Democratic front-runner, Barack Obama. Could this mean that Obama is more capable of pulling moderate Republicans over to his side come November, making him a fiercer Democratic opponent than Clinton?. (MTV.com)

Huckabee to Romney: If He thinks this is Tough, He ain’t seen Nothing
Back on his home turf of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee counter-punched Mitt Romney on his ” no whining” comment after Huckabee accused him of “voter suppression”. The contentious squabble initiated after Romney, while on FNC’s Hannity and Colmes equated a Huckabee vote, essentially, to a wasted vote for McCain. (FoxNews.com)
