Super Tuesday has come and gone, and we still don't have a Democratic candidate chosen. This is unprecedented. That means us late voters in Texas and Ohio (and probably even Pennsylvania) will actually have a say in who the nominee will be.
Even more exciting is the fact that there really isn't a true frontrunner. Both Clinton and Obama can claim victory from last night. Obama won the most states, but Clinton won the largest states. However, with the proportional representation in choosing delegates, they will probably finish the night virtually even in delegates. We won't know for sure for a day or so, but that looks like what will happen.
There was some doubt before Super Tuesday as to whether Obama could win states without large black populations, but he laid those doubts to rest by winning states like Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, North Dakota and Delaware. That makes this a real race to the finish -- maybe all the way to the convention.
So get ready Texans. It looks like this is still going to be open when it gets to us on March 4th. Who would have thought that would happen a few months ago? I'm excited!
