Super Tuesday Results
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008Well my first post back will be boring: Super Tuesday results. I will be tracking them throughout the night at the GoogleSpreadsheet.
UPDATE: First vote in West Virginia Convention produced no 50% candidate, 2nd ballot scheduled for 1:30PM
UPDATE (12:40p): First vote tally in WV Convention was 41% for Romney, 33% for Huckabee, 16% for McCain, and 10% for Ron Paul. So will the Huckabee people team with McCain to block Romney? Or will they go with the closer ideologically to block McCain? Should be interesting.
UPDATE (1:20p): Ignore my analysis above, I meant to say will the McCain people team with the Romney because hes closer to them ideologically or will they vote strategically with Huckabee to block Romney. I am sure the McCain camp will instruct them to vote for Huck BUT Romney only needs to pick up 9%+1 to get there.
UPDATE (2:22p): I was right. The McCain people went heavily for Huck giving Huck a 52% win and the delegates. A big blow for Romney.
Delegates
UPDATE (3:12p): Well the next state up is Georgia whose polls close at 7pm. I will keep a pretty steady post going from 7pm through midnight or whenever California is called.
UPDATE (7:09p): Obama wins Georgia
UPDATE(8:29P - Sam) Huckabee won Alabama. McCain took New Jersey and Connecticut.
UPDATE(8:36P - Sam) McCain has won Delaware
UPDATE(8:39P - Sam) Huckabee has won Arkansas
UPDATE(8:42P - Sam) Romney has won Massachusetts. McCain has won Illinois
UPDATE(9:19P - Sam) McCain has won New York
UPDATE(9:57P - Sam) McCain has won Oklahoma
UPDATE(10:03P - Sam) Ok, here is a real shocker. Romney has won Utah.
UPDATE(10:18p - Mark) Connecticut for OBAMA– BIG UPSET. Is Clinton on the ropes?
UPDATE(10:34p - Mark) Romney is giving a fight goes on speech. I think he has to win in California though to be seen as having any chance. The third place finish in Tennesse, Georgia, etc is pretty brutal.
UPDATE(10:42p - Mark) TN and GA for Huckabee. Big night for Huck. Bad night for liberty. We need to stop the socialist from getting the VP nod.
UPDATE(11:27p - Mark) MN for Romney, a much needed win for Romney.
UPDATE(11:33p - mark) MT for Romney, another needed win. He holds a good lead in Colorado but not sure whats reporting. Coming in third in Missouri is definitely not good.
UPDATE(11:37p - Mark) Watching the McCain speech now but hard not to notice Joe Lieberman right behind him along with Charlie Crist. I am so torn about Lieberman’s support of McCain. On one side I think it is good for the country, but I fear the influence he would have on domestic policy.
UPDATE(11:51p - Mark) CO for Romney. Another good win
