WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain swept a string of delegate-rich, East Coast primaries Tuesday night, reaching for command of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Democratic rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama traded victories in an epic struggle from Connecticut to California.

"We've won some of the biggest states in the country," McCain told cheering supporters at a rally in Phoenix after pocketing victories in all regions of the country. An underdog for months, he proclaimed himself the front-runner at last, and added. "I don't really mind it one bit."

With 371 delegates, the Arizona senator was far ahead of his rivals in the competition that counted most.

Even so, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney said they were in the race to stay.

Neither Clinton nor Obama proclaimed victory on a Super Tuesday that sprawled from coast-to-coast, and with good reason.

"I look forward to continuing our campaign and our debate about how to leave this country better off for the next generation," said the former first lady, looking ahead to the primaries and caucuses yet to come.

Obama was in Chicago, where he told a noisy election night rally, "Our time has come. Our movement is real. And change is coming to America."

This here is the most remarkable political event in U.S. History. And it's stunning ... both sides, both parties... The magnitude of this cannot be overestimated!

You name the markers: fundraising; The competition in the field; The level of interest; Television ratings. What we're looking at is not only numbers that are historical, but numbers that are incomprehensible!

Look at the turnout: if you have a 10-percent increase in turnout, political scientists study that for years. But we're seeing 100-percent increases in turnout!

And the things we are seeing are incomprehensible. The Democratic turnout in South Carolina was higher than the Republican; that's unheard of. People are incredibly interested in paying attention. There's no way to predict this anymore.
(James Carville; the legendary campaign guru)

:)

And the big winner is the American citizen, engaged in our democratic responsibilities. Three cheers !!!

For for all those who say that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry did not deliver for Obama, I say wait a second and examine what happened here. You are now making the case that Obama did it all on his own with the help of others, while Hillary leans on her husband Bill Clinton. To me that is a great positive for Barack Obama, to be making it on his own.

What would have happened if the vote all took place Tuesday instead of all the absentee ballots. How many states would Hillary Clinton have won. Hillary Clinton's salvation is that the people voted way before we and they found out that Obama is a viable candidate.

Again the real question is how many states would Hillary Clinton have won.

Hillbots better wake up, all the Latino votes are spent. The remaining states do not have the numbers like in NY or CAL. Texas that's it.

The majority of these states favor Obama.

American Samoa

District of Columbia

Maryland

Virginia

Washington

Wisconsin

Rhode Island

Vermont

Mississippi

Pennsylvania

Indiana

North Carolina

Oregon

South Dakota

Interesting that Barack Obama took the Bell Weather State of Missouri, that is impressive to say the least. As for California and NY, they are Democratic states and will stay that way regardless as to who the nominee is.

The media circus is giving Clinton a mercy fuck on California........

They had Hillary winning Missouri...but now they say Obama 49% and Hillary 48%...and California is only at 15% reporting....

How can Hillary be declared the winner in California with only 15% of the vote counted!

The news networks need to stop pushing candidates and stick to reporting the news.

She bungled Health care reform so badly it made it radio active for almost 2 decades. What is most maddening about that is that she did it before she was elected or nominated by ANYBODY. it was pure hubris, gone terribly wrong.

When the people of New York made the terrible decision to elect her, she really hit her stride, helping to facilitate the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents over something she now claims she was "tricked" into supporting.

She did the same with the israeli war in Lebanon. She supported a war that was ultimately deemed a total disaster and mistake by the Israeli people. Tens of thousands lost their lives and a once US friendly nation was bombed into the stone age in part because of her total ineptitude.

Shes still working on starting a war in Iran, as though somehow enough innocent blood was not spilled yet in her first two pet wars.

When Obama talks about change, he is talking about putting the power of the presidency into the hands of someone capable of making GOOD foreign pokicy calls, and out of the hands of people like Bush and Hillary. He is talking about puting the GIGANTIC issue of health care reform into the hands of someone who can work across the aisle to get something REAL done, and out of the hands of the person that singlehandedly insured that hundreds of millions of Americans were underinsured and/or pooly cared for over the last 2 decades.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, gang, for tolerating this one Hillary fan.

I know I've annoyed some of you.

But ...he didn't bomb tonight.

Be proud of that.

OK. So it really is a race and after tonight, we still don't know whether, come January, we'll be watching Barack's inauguration or Hillary's coronation.

But there's still time to contribute to the campaigns ... and there are still checks in my checkbook.

What I am afraid of is California becomes Florida in 2008: The Neo-cons get their dirty hands on the voting machine - again! Rigging an election seems to be the Neo-cons' expertise now. So, all Hillary has to do is to 'consult' with Bush (through Ann Coulter) and the rest will be history.

The current reported mess in California reminds me of Florida in 2000. It seems to me, "if you cannot win it clean, then play dirty!".

There isn't much of chance for any clean election when "so much is at stake", according to Hillary Clinton. May be she is right. The Neo-cons cannot afford to not having her in the White House for them to completely annihilate the constitution, shatter hope, suffocate freedom, and institutionalize slavery.

Congratulations Hitlery! A new pair of Nazi boots will look good with your pantsuits.
