Now for Super TUESDAY

Super Sunday was all fine and dandy (go Giants!), but now it's time for Super Tuesday. There always is a super Tuesday during the primary election season, but this year it is far more "super" than ever. Because February 5 was the new earliest date set by the two parties for state primaries, Nearly every state moved its election up to it. Tomorrow, 22 states will be opening their polling places for Democrats and Republicans to choose their nominee.

I was extremely excited for this day ever since a few months ago, but my reasoning behind this excitement has shifted. I couldn't wait to see which Republican was chosen, which I believed would be unclear until tomorrow's results were in. Furthermore, the Democratic race was all but finished, with Hillary getting the nomination. It seems, however, that the winds have changed.

The Republican nominee is clear, and tomorrow proves to be a blowout for him. John McCain is going to take the cake in nearly every state that votes tomorrow, securing his nomination for the GOP seat in November. I really have to stop endorsing candidates; every time I do, they drop out within a week. It's going to happen again tomorrow, as Mitt's campaign goes up in smoke.

The Democrats are going to be far more fascinating. While Hillary maintains a significant lead in the majority of states, it has been slipping over the past few days. It is now unclear whether she will gain enough delegates tomorrow to effectively finish Barack Obama, especially with most of the states awarding delegates proportionally. We could see a brokered convention in Denver (I believe) this summer.

I'll be examining the long-term effects for the Republican Party after the results tomorrow, which will (most likely) result in McCain's massive victory. Mitt Romney still has a part to play in our party's future, but it just might have to wait four years. He might just be that champion of the "shining city on a hill" that our party needs after Bush's sundering of our coalition. And maybe I can stop writing about this blasted election and cover some real issues!!

Enjoy the returns on your network of choice, although I'll be enjoying Brit Hume's superb coverage on FoxNews.
