Super Tuesday tonight!

Over 20 states (23, I believe) will be voting today to determine who will be the Democratic nominee for president. Michigan should have been included in these states, but alas, we are not -- no further comment on that topic. :)

This is how I see Super Tuesday:
If Clinton beats Obama by 100 delegates, but especially 150, Obama is toast.
If Obama ties Clinton or trails her by less than, I'd say, 75 delegates, Obama is our nominee -- the post-Super Tuesday schedule is extremely favorable to him.

Remember that none of the Democratic Super Tuesday states are winner-take-all. Both candidates will get some delegates, no matter what. This does indeed make me a hypocrite.

Let's also remember, in terms of pushing progressive policy, it's really the Congress that counts. So even if your candidate doesn't win tonight, know that the real battle is in the nitty-gritty of the Congressional races.
For more, frequent OpenLeft.

Don't believe the pundits when they say whoever wins California wins Super Tuesday -- that's a ridiculous assertion. If Obama wins California, I will shit a brick and bring it to the next general meeting. I call California for Clinton.

I will update this post regularly as results start to come out (which will start at 7:00 EST, the west coast polls close at 10:00 EST). Whoever you like for president, cheer them on!
