Super Tuesday South -- AM edition
Here we are, the Big Day for the Election 2008 primaries -- which may turn out to be just Another Day, especially for Democrats, if the races stay tight and Sens. Clinton and Obama split the delegate count.
Our friends at Political Wire have taken stock of the latest data, and offer these sage predictions for today's contests -- which in terms of the five Southern states in play, are in line with Facing South's analysis yesterday:
Here's how we rate the races for Democrats:
Advantage Clinton:
* Arkansas, New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee
Advantage Obama:
* Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, North Dakota
No Clear Favorite:
* Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Delaware, Utah, Massachusetts, American Samoa, Democrats Abroad
Here's how we rate the races for Republicans:
Advantage McCain:
* Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Montana, New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee
Advantage Romney:
* Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Utah
No Clear Favorite:
* California, Missouri, Georgia, Minnesota
Oh, and Huckabee will take Arkansas, before exiting the race.
