Election Projection:
Super-Duper-Mega-Jumbo Tuesday predictions and results  —  We have arrived at the biggest day in the history of primaries.  Almost half of these United States are conducting their primaries or caucuses today.  Over 1000 delegates are at stake on the Republican side and twice that are being contested on the Democratic side.
Gallup:
Gallup Daily: Tracking Election 2008  —  Based on daily polling from Feb. 2-4, 2008  —  PRINCETON, NJ — Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama remain fairly closely matched in national Democratic voters' nomination preferences, although Clinton appears to have stopped Obama's momentum over the past two days.

David Brooks / New York Times:
The Cooper Concerns  —  I'm not a Hillary-hater.  She's been an outstanding senator.  She hung tough on Iraq through the dark days of 2005.  In this campaign, she has soldiered on bravely even though she has most of the elected Democrats, news media and the educated class rooting against her.

Little Green Footballs:
Dreaming of Super Tuesday  —  Super Tuesday is upon us.  I tossed and turned all night, haunted by the ghosts of Rudy and Duncan.  And when I awoke, it was all not a dream—we really do have to choose between McCain and Romney.  —  Sometime during that unrestful interval, I decided: I'm pulling the lever for Mitt Romney today.

Delegates In California: A Caution  —  If, in many congressional districts in California, a Democrat does not receive more than 62% of the vote, he or she will receive the same number of delegates from that CD as the he or she who finishes second.  (Only Clinton and Obama will earn viability — above 15% in those CDs.)
