Super Tuesday the sequel was yesterday and the Democratic picture remains as murky as ever. Hillary Clinton did manage to stop Barack Obama's 12 win momentums by taking Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas once again returning her to the delegate lead. Obama took Vermont. However, despite the small lead Clinton gained, it’s still too close to call on who the Democratic winner will ultimately be.
As the experts keep saying, at this point the voters are no longer relevant, it’s the super delegates of the party that will decide the final nominee and who they decide will be based not on the popular vote or anything else but on who has the best chance to defeat John McCain.
Speaking of John McCain, this Super Tuesday completed the road he was on from the last one, which is he finally locked the Republican nomination with the needed delegates count. As a result Huckabee finally dropped out. The only question is who will be his running mate and my bet is on Mitt Romney.
So really the take away on this Tuesday was that the democratic nominee remains undecided and McCain is the nominee. Pretty much where the picture was the night before.
