At this point there are two Republican front-runners. John McCain and Mitt Romney. McCain's campaign has been gaining momentum and most recently he has gained the enorsements of both the Governator and Rudy Giuliani. McCain plans to win the war on terrorism, reform healthcare for all Americans, and reform government.Romney, who courts the Religious
Right, seems to want to address every issue in America ("Good Luck") including keeping Americans safe at home, combating nuclear terrorism, fighting radical Jihad, ending the dependance on foreign oil, ending the tide of illegal immigrants, reducing healthcare costs, raising the education bar and more. Sounds like a good plan... just fix it all.And if you want to stay with the right but don't like either of those candidates you can vote for the only true fiscal conservative who "fights for freedom", Ron Paul. Who?! Yeah... that's what I said.
Now for the other side of the aisle, the Democrats. This is where the real fun begins. A major departure from history, the two front runners are a female and an African-American, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Good thinking for both of them to drop their middle names for the campaign. Heck, Mrs. Clinton has dropped it all... just "Vote for Hillary!" Again it appears that these two candidates are trying to be everything to everyone. Hillary touts her experience, while Obama champions his fresh thinking.
As for who will win big today? I certainly don't know for sure and haven't done any personal exit polls but I suspect that McCain and Obama will have strong showings this Super Tuesday.
Who do you think will win big today?!

So the Republican primaries were indeed a two horse race, but surprisingly the 2nd horse wasn't Mitt Romney but former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. That being said, John McCain had fairly sizable victories all but guaranteeing that he will eventually gain the Republican nomination.
On the Democrat side of the aisle things continue to be tight as both Hillary and Obama had significant victories which may mean that their race continues right up until the parties convention in August!
We'll have to keep watching...
Mitt Romney has now bowed out of the race claiming his desire to not split the Republican party and thereby strengthen either Obama or Hillary's drive for the big White house.
No word on who he'll encourage his supporters to nominate.
I like Obama - but don't know all that he stands for - am I swayed by his eloquent speaking and cool Youtube video? maybe I am.
The Barrack train continues to chug along leaving the Hillary team needing a win.
McCain seems a sure Republican victor although a new Times article has suggested a questionable relationship with a female lobbyist some 9 years ago.
Hmmmm.
Hillary's campaign has officially been suspended and it appears that Obama has all but won the nomination.
The next big question for McCain and Obama will be who they choose to be their running mates.
