Super Tuesday Wrapup

will posted 02/06/08 @ 7:54PM EST

Well it's been about 24 hours since Super Tuesday began, so I'll do a little summarizing. To look at the results state by state, including a breakdown of the percentages of the vote received, you can look here at the New York Times. Not too much has changed since yesterday's post. California went to Clinton, but just by 10%. New Mexico is still too close to call; Obama has 48% and Clinton has 49%.

In the end Obama won 13 states, and Clinton won 8 states. This leaves them just about even. No delegates from the Super Tuesday primaries have yet been assigned officially yet. I read a couple interesting articles from the Associated Press today. One talks about doing caucusses for Florida and Michigan since their delegates were stripped by the DNC since they scheduled their primaries earlier than they were allowed to. The other gives a brief summary of what happened yesterday, and talks about the future plans for the candidates, and also discusses how Obama's fundraising has been more successful, leading Clinton to loan her campaign $5 million from her personal funds.

Science Debate 2008

Lastly I wanted to mention Science Debate 2008. You should click on the image above to read more about it, but briefly, it just talks about trying to get a presidential debate setup that would be focussed on Science and Technology. I think this would be a very interesting debate given different views on issues such as nuclear power and stem-cell research. I found out about Science Debate 2008 from Nobel Intent, a science blog which can also be found over on my links page.

Godspeed.
