All eyes are on Superduper Tuesday now.
Except Republicans in Maine, who are caucusing today.
Nationally, John McCain is the front runner on the Republican
side. He has the enormous advantage that most of the
Republican primaries are winner-take-all events, meaning
that he can get 35% of the votes (i.e., 2/3 of the voters
against him) and still get the nomination. The extreme
right wing of the Republican party is going all out to
attack him this week. Rush Limbaugh is going wild. James
Dobson reiterated his stand that he could never vote for
McCain. If it becomes McCain vs. Clinton or McCain vs. Obama,
crow will be served for dinner.
On the Democratic side, it is getting closer.
A new Gallup poll shows Obama within 4% of
Clinton (43% to 39%), with a fair number still undecided.
In California, the biggest trove of delegates to be chosen Tuesday,
Obama is within 3% (43% to 40%) according to the latest Rasmussen poll.
All the Democratic primaries are proportional, so it is possible
(even likely) that Clinton wins more delegates Tuesday, but not that
many more, causing the race to go on well into the Spring. This is
a nightmare scenario for the Democrats: McCain the uncontested nominee
raising money like crazy while Clinton and Obama are spitting at each other
for months. History shows that the first party to select their nominee
usually wins the general election, but this year is not typical.

The money numbers are starting to dribble in.
The DCCC has a net worth of $34 million to the NRCC's net worth of $3 million.
On the Senate side, the DSCC has $29 million vs. the NRSC's $12 million.
We might have more numbers tomorrow.
CNN is keeping track of the delegates for the
Democrats
and for the
Republicans.
Note that other sources may differ because CNN is trying to count the PLEOs (Party Leaders and
Elected Officials) and other unpledged delegates.
When different reporters call a PLEO and hear "Well, I like Hillary,
but Barack has his charms too" they may score it differently.
Here is CNN's count:
