Barack Obama Super Tuesday Speech

Obama Campaign Contrubutions Day After Super Tuesday

The magic of small campaign donations.

Hillary Wins Massachusetts & California

So much for the Ted Kennedy endorsement helping Barack Obama.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) was projected to win Massachusetts Tuesday night even though her rival, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), famously won the endorsements of both Sens. John Kerry and Edward Kennedy.

For Clinton, the state is a big win in the Northeast where Obama was thought to be surging.

The Clinton campaign was calling the win "the upset of the night," saying that the even the endorsements of Kerry, Kennedy and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick didn't stop Bay State voters from voting for Clinton.

Lessons to be learned for aspiring presidential candidates. Do not let John Kerry endorse you. The other lesson is Hillary has a far better campaign staff than Obama. That has been obvious for months.

The Clinton campaign lowered expections for California. Matt Yglesias reports that Hillary won the state. It would be nice if Matt would cite his source. The CBS News delegate scorecard has Hillary with 533 delegates. Obama has 437. I'm thinking what to say about Mike Gravel and I can't stop myself from laughing.

I can imagine the dialogue Gravel is having with himself.

"Do you smell that?" Gravel asks his imaginary campaign staff. "That gasoline smell... smelled like victory. Someday this election is going to end."

Don't forget to buy your Gravel gear. You can wear this T-shirt with your George Allen for President button.

Super Tuesday Results

The Associated Press has called Alabama, Arkansas and West Virginia for Mike Huckabee. John McCain won Connecticutt, Delaware, Illinois and New Jersey. The question is will Mitt Romney flip or flop out of the race.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton won Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennesessee. Barack Obama carried Georgia and Illinois.

Hat tip to Vox Populi. She is looking forward to the Hillary/McCain debates. It should be interesting which candidate will be the first to commit to keeping troops in Iraq for more than one millennium.

Huckabee Wins West Virgina

Mike Huckabee wins 18 of West Virginia's 27 delegates. John McCain told his his delegates lobby for the Huckster. Mitt Romney is crying foul.

“Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain’s inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney’s campaign of conservative change.”

Huckabee shot a good diss back at Romney.

"I thought he was saying yesterday no whining. So is it no whining or whining? He can't even keep a straight answer on the whining or no whining question. So here's a guy that's taken the no whining position now the whining position," said Huckabee.

The Republican candidates have been ganging up at Romney, in the debates. Romney comes across as such a pompous blowhard. Deals with delegates happen in presidential elections. The fact that Romney got gamed is hysterical. Romney is just mad he can't buy delegates like straw polls.

Obama Wins Georgia

Barack Obama has won Georgia. CNN has declared Obama the winner. Obam beat Hillary by 2 to 1.
