Super Tuesday and TIB Live Thread (going live at about 7)

Filed under: News from Other Sites, Taxes & Government — TBlumer @ 4:00 pm

It’s on, starting at roughly 7PM.

HERE is the direct link to TIB (”Winamp” is required to listen; don’t ask me what that is). The link is also at the top of the home page at Weapons of Mass Discussion.

A live supplement to this thread is anticipated, though blogging, yakking, and compiling with so many state results coming in seems out of control.

UPDATE, 4PM: The Super Tuesday Scoreboard is operational, and will be updated throughout the evening. It also contains cumulative results to date, which will also be updated:

_______________________________________________

Feb. 6, 10:00 a.m. - The Scoreboard is up-to-date, reflecting known results and delegates, tying into the RealClear Politics counts as of about 9:00 a.m. Added a few items, including (on the GOP side) who finished second and third in each state (ignoring all other candidates).

12:45 a.m. (lost and restored) - Fox called Cali for McCain and Clinton, and we’re calling it a night. Delegate counts will get updated later.

12:15 a.m. - McCain wins Missouri, per Fox News. St. Louis-area voters turned it around completely for McCain. Fox says Hillary took Missouri, hanging on by the barest of margins. 12:40 a.m. — OMG; Fox had to reverse its Clinton call. Obama came from behind to beat Hillary by over 6,000 almost 8,000 votes.

11:30 p.m. - Missouri is a dead heat with 85% counted between Huck and McCain. Huck’s lead is less than 1,200 votes out of 340,000 between the two.

11:00 p.m. - Huck wins TN and GA and may hold on in MO. Apparently he said in his speech tonight that it’s now a two-man race — and he’s one of the two.

9:50 p.m. - Huck’s possible win in GA seems to indicate that he might have a chance in MO. Whoa.

9:15 p.m. - There may be an upset in the making — Huck is up on McCain and Romney in GA 35-32-29 with 38% of the vote counted.

8:30 p.m. - Arkansas closes. Clinton and Huck projected to win.

7:50 p.m. - Covering the absurdity of Romney wanting Huck to drop out, the hypocrisy of the same people who ripped the Media for saying Thompson, Romney and others should drop out now doing the same to Huck (radio talkers, you know who they are).

7:15 p.m. - We’re on. Just before break, GA goes to Obama. Discussion has centered around merits (OK, mostly demerits) of Romney and McCain.

  3. Well, it looks like Obama is giving Clinton fits, EXCELLENT. If things keep going on this way the Dem nomination convention is going to be decided by the super delegates which means Hillary will get the nomination.

  4. #3, that and the FL-MI delegates she’s going to try to steal.

    Even though he has the mo, Obama is still playing from behind, and needs to rack up a lot of convincing victories to get more superdels on his side and some backbone to turn back the FL-MI theft effort.

  5. Which means we need to identify who the superdelegates are and then put them on the hotseat for supporting the Clintons with a back door deal. Publicly exposing them to the light of day will break the Clintons strategy of grabbing the nomination. BTW-this is in our interest as a Clinton presidency is the worst of all outcomes IMO.
