Super Duper Tuesday - A Recap of a Day with a Retarded Name
Yesterday was "Super Duper Tuesday," named so because it is similar to previous "Super Tuesdays," but this time have more states holding primaries in the US than ever before. 22 states at once! That is going to be quite a mess. So I will give you a service and help recap what the hell happened yesterday.
Something that is obvious right now is that McCain is winning the Republican side. Romney is miles (or preferably; kilometres) behind McCain. But on the Democratic side it is not as simple. Clinton and Obama are still going neck and neck. While Obama won most states yesterday, Clinton did win the bigger states like California. However, it should be noted that while in the Republican primary it is a Winner-Takes-All system and it is not for the Democrats. Update: Not all states for the Republicans use this system!
What does that mean? Remember when Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, but didn't become President? Exactly the same thing. The US presidential election itself is a WTA system per state. The Republicans use the same method through the primaries. This will more clearly produce a winner, since if one candidate is just leading somewhat most places, he will fly ahead of the other. Simple fact.
And this is why Clinton and Obama are still going neck and neck, because during the previous months, the opinion polls have gone over to Obama's favour. And I am thinking that this retarded named day will not conclude the Democratic primary, but conclude the Republican one.
