Super Tuesday

Frank Castle's win in Nevada surprised everyone, and gave him some momentum going into the Tuesday primaries. It wasn't enough, Peter Parker won most contests, putting him in a commanding lead. Natasha Romanov took Virginia, and Castle had a few second place finishes, but none could match the delegates he got.
With the disappointing Super Tuesday performance, and the fact that he hadn't had a good showing in a primary since New Hampshire led the former frontrunner Tony Stark to drop out and endorse him, Parker's nomination seemed all but secure.
He had a huge lead in the delegate count, Tony Stark's voters going for him, and leading most polls for Super Saturday. Yet, Castle, Romanov, and McCoy stayed; there strategy, like many before them, was to force a brokered convention, but they had little money to do so. Each of them agreed to only campaign in states they were polling second in.

On the DC Party, things were a bit more split, Barry Allen's surprise Michigan win, a state Whayne was expected to take in a landslide, led to Clark Kent taking most of the delegates home; he had a small, but growing lead in the count.
Things aren't looking good for him, Kent's low polling numbers in Super Saturday, coupled with his falling apart campaign, would spell doom for him if he didn't do something.
Whayne, in the meantime, was biding his time, campaigning where he was supposed too, and waiting for Kent's mistakes to catch up to him.
In face of overwhelming loses, only taking 3 delegates in Super Tuesday, and having a total of 17, convinced Victor Stone to drop out. His endorsement went to Barry Allen, who also recieved Hal Jordan's that week, convinced him some wins in Super Saturday would allow him to cruise to victory, but he was burning through cash at a faster pace than any other candidate.

Hi, I'm going to bring this back. Why? Because I want to.

Nominees are set.

Despite, valiant efforts from Castle and McCoy. The "force a brokered convention" movement stalled when Romanov ran out of money and dropped out. After that, it was only a matter of time before Parker won the delegates needed to secure his nomination.

Kent's popularity couldn't last forever with Lex Luthor's constant ad buys, and he fell in the polls quickly. With Allen out of money, it became a contest between Luthor and Wayne. Being the better speaker, already having a delegate lead, and Luthor's previous controversies while president lead to Bruce cruising to victory.

Who'll win? Peter Parker or Bruce Wayne?
