So far, the Super Tuesday results aren't too super for anyone, on either side. On the left, the coast-to-coast delegate hunt between Obama and Clinton apparently will go on.
On the right (or sort of right), McCain has some momentum, Romney less than many had hoped and Huckleberry has shown new life, at least in the Old South.
This from The Corner may be pertinent:
My southern belle wife always warned that many evangelicals would vote for anyone but a Mormon. I was skeptical -- and we don't yet have the exit poll breakdowns on that kind of question -- but it looks as if something like that may be at work.
Unfortunately, not so surprising to this southerner.
Channel-flipping while The Huckster, who is either cunning or deluded, was holding forth on Fox News, I stumbled across Peggy Noonan being wise again, this time with Brian Williams on NBC. Two of her comments:
"People are in no hurry to resolve this drama. They are still looking at everybody who's running.""Obama is a persona who answers the question: is there anyone but Her?"
All in all, it's hard to see how Romney can overcome McCain now, unless something dramatic has happened in California. There's just not enough evidence right now of a groundswell for Romney, only persistent discomfort with John McCain. Much depends now on how McCain conducts himself over the coming weeks.
The war between Obama and Clinton Inc. may have only just begun.
