WASHINGTON — John McCain hopes to come out with enough decisive victories in the Republican primary races on Super Tuesday to give him the edge in the presidential nominating contest, but the proportional awarding of delegates guarantees that neither he nor any other candidate will sew up the party nomination this week.
In fact, neither party is awarding enough delegates on Tuesday for anyone to clinch the nomination.
Twenty-four states hold some delegate selection event on Feb. 5, with 1,681 Democratic delegates and 1,023 Republican delegates to the national presidential nominating conventions this summer up for grabs. A candidate needs 2,025 delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, and 1,191 to win the Republican nomination.
Based on Associated Press estimations of delegates awarded in the states that already have held contests, John McCain leads with 93 delegates to his name while Hillary Clinton bests Barack Obama in her party’s race with 261. Mathematically, even if both front-runners won every delegate on Super Tuesday, they can’t get a majority.

After Tuesday, there are still 21 states and 3 territories with over 1000 delegates that have yet to vote. Texas is the largest with 140 delegates followed by PA and OH.

Hold on! I thought the Drive-By's had already anointed McAmnesty. One thing's for sure, the polls have been wrong.

I'd love to see "the people" wipe the smirk off McCain's fast.

McCain bugs the hell out of me, always has, especially when he says, "My friend." His frozen smile is unnerving.
Eveybody bitches and moans about closing the border, anyone think McAmnesty, The Clinton's or Barack the Magic Negro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvXz2xaLNMQ) will close the border? Romney is on record saying he would complete the fence.
-
McLame is already being declared the winner, even though nobody's gone to the polls in Super Tuesday yet. Kind of like the Patriots were going to win for sure........... until they played the game.
-
And I hope the McCain upset rivals that of the Patriots....on second thought...I'd like to see a landslide victory for Romney. :-)
-
You can tell the media wants a McCain/Obama match up by the way they fawn over both of them and how they give them such softball questions.
-
I believe you're right about that Sarge. The MSM's collective head is way up in Obama's and McVain's. (gag)
Now I hear Kentucky went for Huckabee?????? Why, why, why????
And hawkgirl, ditto on that. Again McVain reminds me of Bob Dole, who used to refer to himself in the third person routinely, with this "my friend" business. Not one of mine.

The land of KKK Byrd has fallen to the Huckster. :mental:
-
Oops....I meant West Virginia, not Kentucky.

Looks like there's a big stop-the-Mormon movement by the GOP.
-
It's official! McLiar and the Huckster are tag teaming Romney. I'm not clear on details but it looks like Romney was about to win West Virginia and McCheater told his misguided fans to throw in with the Huckster, Huckster wins. :banghead:
-
It does appear to be a close call for the Republicans at this point.
-
ABC: McCain wins along the east coast and Illinois. Hillary and Barry O. are neck-and-neck.
-
McCain projections: DE, IL, NJ
It's early yet.
-
ABC Radio is already lamenting "Romney's poor finish". :censored:
-
Well I suppose I could set this one out since it looks to be two candidates with no difference between them in Nov.

This is only the halfway point for winning delegates.
McCain has won 4 states, Huckabee 3. California polls will be open for another hour.
Things could improve.

McCain is leading Romney 3:1. The Huckster has 54 delegates.
Doctor Ron Paul has six delegates. Do you think he'll invite them over for dinner?

-
Has the "Honorable Dr. Paul" (Patent Pending) surged yet? :hyper:
-
Don't discount the Huckster! He's only got 54 delegates but he's going strong! But we think Romney is toast. :whatever:
-
saw earlier that there are more than 2 million absentee votes nationwide to tally still.... all this 'news' has been interesting tonight, but we wont know the actual outcome til tomorrow. maybe thursday.

No but he'll hold them hostage to the highest bidder so to speak at the convention.

Newest numbers on delegates according to Foxnews.
McCain: 570
Romney: 251
Huckabee: 175
Paul: 14
Clinton: 760
Obama: 692
Edwards(?): 26
Seems like Clintons gonna have a tough fight on her hands. Though I think it's safe to say that McCains gonna get the nomination now.

I hope the difference going into the Dem convention is small enough that Florida will make or break Hillary. Oh the fighting that will follow.. Delicious...

If it wasn't for Huckamania and Darth Paul this thing with McCain wouldn't even be close. In Fact one or two of the others that dropped out earlier might stiill have stuck it out.

Hucakbee's going to have to eat his words that he is 'one of the two men left' in this GOP race.. i dont think McCain is totally a shoe in yet ..
and Hillary just put 5 million of her own money into her campaign today; i think she will ultimately win but she is going to have to fight a lot harder with Obama getting 32 million in January in donations.

Interesting article on why the Democrat nominee will be Obama.
5 reasons Hillary should be worried (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8363.html)
Look for the Drive-By's to pile even higher on the Obama band wagon, hopefully we will finally be rid of the Clinton Crime Family.
McLiar has already begun moving back to the center, he was talking yesterday about the benefits of tax cuts and the danger of tax increases. I don't trust the guy for one minute.
-
Ugh, McCain has over twice the number of delegates than the other two. No way he'll be able to be stopped as long as the Mormon and the pastor are both in the race.
Hillary will get the nomination anyways, she has a machine in place that's going to make the vast majority of that party's superdelegates hers.

Don't be so sure about the Shrew. Barack Hussein Obama has raised ~ $32 million in Jan. to her ~$14 million, also heard she had to give herself a loan of $4 million. Obama has the Drive-By's in his camp, along with McCain. But as soon as the nomination is done watch the Drive-By's start seeing flaws in McCain that they're overlooking for now, and be further in amazement at the "energy" of the Obama campaign and how tired and old all the McCain people are.
I think racism and general dirty trick shenanigans will doom the Clinton's.
PS.Where's Bill?
-
Bill is in his crane for being a bad boy and crapping all over Hillary's campaign.
Bill earned himself a tighter leash for his shenanigans.. :lmao:

But there's alot more to it did just fundraising ability - ask Steve Forbes or Ron Paul. The Muslim does have the charisma and the enthusiasm, but the Klintons still have their Machine, and it worked like a charm for them on ST, they won every big state except IL.
I don't think McCain could beat either one of them, his team has neither of the other's strong points - old and tired, as you say.

I never said it was all about money, as you say it's a lot more than that. I hear you on the Clinton Crime Family machine, but Obama is nipping at her heels, he's ascending, she's treading water. Obama has developed his own machine and it's working pretty well.
Obama, like him or not is becoming a phenomenon, he's assuaging liberal white guilt, ergo the Drive-By's drooling over him, but the real change here is the involvement of the youth.

Obama and 'Da Yutes'
By J.R. Dunn
One unwelcome side effect of Obamamania is the threat of yet another bout of liberalism's youth obsession.
This is not a reference to John Kerry's Botox shots or Nancy Pelosi's face lifts, but the liberal tendency to fall on their knees before the nation's youth at the drop of a skateboard.
Granted that pols right left and center pander to the upcoming voters in search of the "youth vote" -- usually to no avail -- but this is something else. Something compulsive, irrational, and more than a little creepy. It seems to consistently bubble under the surface of American liberalism, erupting only on occasion. We're in the middle of such an eruption right now.
Over the past few months, we've gone from straightforward reportage on Obama's appeal to young voters to semi-mystical rhapsodizing in praise of the new children's crusade on behalf of the Illinois messiah.

IMHO Her Thighness doesn't care a whit about whether Barry gets more popular votes in the primaries...she's doing what Bill did and concentrating on trying to win the states that will give her the most delegates.

That may well be, but I think she's worried.

Bh, she sould be somewhat worried, she ought to make the Muslim talk about an issue and ask him for his definition of "change". The youth vote can never be counted on.
We're stuck with THREE liberal Senators, from right to left, Juan, Hillary, the Muslim. I'm thinking of switching to Huckabee, but that could doom him for sure.
Barack would be quickest death, but also the most painful one of all,

She won't ask him because she doesn't want to be asked specific questions about her "change" plan and what exactly that means. Reminds me of John F(ing) Kerry how he kept saying, "I have a plan, go see it on my website."
We're stuck with THREE liberal Senators, from right to left, Juan, Hillary, the Muslim.
I prefer to say two Socialist/Marxists and one liberal, McAmnesty, the rapists wife and the Magic Negro.
