Winers and Losers

So with Super Tuesday behind us now it's time to look at who won and who lost yesterday.

Winners:
John McCain. He cemented his status of the leader of the Republican Party Presidential candidate. It will take a huge run for anyone to catch him now.

Mike Huckabee. He shocked a lot of people by winning a few states showing there is some life in his campaign. If McCain was smart he would consider him to be his Vice Presidential Candidate.

Democratic Voters. A graphic showed on CNN today showed that they out-voted Republicans 14.4 million to 8.7 million. A Very good sign for November.

Barack Obama. He picked up more states then I figured but not the big ones that were up for grabs.

Losers:

Mitt Romney. He only picked up 5 states yesterday. He has the money to stay in the race but the question is will he?

Hillary Clinton. Maybe the bar was set too high and she won some states that were leaning toward Obama but reports indicate that her campaign is struggling and she had to do what Romney does and put $5 million of her money in her campaign.

The delegate process. It's confusing, especially the Democratic way of choosing delegates and the fact there is no winner take all like there is in there is in the Republican Party. And the fact that with the alleged "super delegates" who can vote anyway they want who might not lean toward the voters will might turn off a lot of people in November.

Anyway that's my view
