official Super Tuesday commentary thread (Republican)

[Хahar 🤔]

Keep your eyes on TN and MO, and of course:

California

California, California über alles...

What, can't I sing?

[/stupid]

McCain declares himself the frontrunner. Take that, Mitt.

LOL

[Verily]

Paul's support is declining. He's losing to Rudy after he dropped out.

Except for 25% in Montana

[J. J.]

McCain +1 in MO with 91% in.

[Keystone Phil]

McCain still needs a lot of practice with the tele prompter.  

[J. J.]

I though it was good.

[J. J.]

McCain now only up by 18 points in CA.

This is over and it should be healthy.  He is winning in every county with results in.

[bullmoose88]

McCain now only up by 18 points in CA.

Where do we expect Romney to get most of his votes from...i mean county wise...

Orange...where else?

[MasterJedi]

McCain has a 1% about 4,000 vote lead in MO with 93% in.

[Torie]

The exits in California were even, but with absentees, McCain is doing incredibly well all over the state, up like 18% rather than the pre election polls of about 6%. Strange.  I can't imagine Mitt continuing if he is humiliated this way in California. He might be headed to a 5%+ loss. We shall see.

SD, possibly, and some of those northern counties.

[MasterJedi]

CNN has finally called TN for Huckabee and CO for Romney.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

With 93 percent in for Missouri, Obama and Hillary are neck in neck, McCain and Huckabee are neck and neck.
The only thing that's clear is Mitt's not winning it.

I guess it's not just a swing state in the general.

[M]

FNC gives Mac the big MO.

[Meeker]

Huckleberry takes Tennessee!

[AkSaber]

Alaska polls close in 35 minutes, and it's damn near midnight out East. I'm crossing my fingers Alaska won't be ignored in the vote counting.

I won't ignore you, as long as the 3vil known as Romney doesn't win.

[Torie]

One would think Mitt would run very well in Orange County, my county, but in absentees Mitt is losing rather similar San Diego County by 44-27. That is just a slaughter. Something is odd. The polls might have really blown it in Calif. McCain will sweep the Bay area. He is ahead in absentee in Silicon Vallley  (Santa Clara) 51-21. I do expect Mitt to do much better with today voters, but still, no poll showed these kinds of numbers with already voted voters.

[J. J.]

CA McCain at +19 at 12%.  The margin has grown.

Clinton holding at +23.

[Lincoln Republican]

McCain in his speech was most gracious to Huckabee and to Romney, congratulating both of them.

It makes me believe he wants to heal the rifts in the party, in particular the tough battle he has had with Romney.

Perhaps he is setting the groundwork, should he become the nominee, to asking Romney to be his running mate, which, given the considerable support Romney has received in primaries and caucuses, would be the best way of uniting the party.

The exit polls have screwed up a number of states today - this is probably another.

Awwww. Thanks Jedi. I don't know if Romney will win. The place where we had to vote, the Egan Center, (which is where the Atlasian Conservative Alliance had a convention 2 years ago ) the place was a madhouse. I saw quite a few Huckabee signs, and a couple Paul signs. That was it.

Not a chance. I don't see McCain pandering to the base like that and picking Romney. No way. I'd be shocked and disappointed if he did that. But I am 99% sure he won't.

Like Reagan-Bush...but I just don't see Mitt helping McCain electorally...and Bush Sr at least won some big states in 1980

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Paul's down to only leading in 2 counties in Minnesota, but he took one with 63%. Very odd. Low turnout though.
