Super Tuesday? How About Indecisive Tuesday?

Wed, February 06, 2008 - 8:52 AM

Iowa didn’t settle it. Nor did New Hampshire or Michigan. Ditto South Carolina and Florida.

Those of you who woke up this morning expecting some clarity in this uber-competitive presidential contest, I have bad news. Super Tuesday didn’t settle it either.

They’re still sorting out the delegate prizes in California this morning – which Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. John McCain won. But it’s clear that this race will go on – on both sides – for at least several weeks, and likely a lot longer.

On the Democratic side, both Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama will claim momentum today after their string of victories. But neither side appears to have a clear edge going forward.

On the Republican side, McCain emerged as the clear front-runner last night. But after a block of surprise wins by former Gov. Mike Huckabee in the South, and less surprising wins by former Gov. Mitt Romney in the West, both on the backs of the conservative wing of the party, McCain still faces questions about his ability to unite his party.

Now it’s your turn. Are you tired of this thing yet? Burnt out on presidential politics? Comment below.
