I figured that John McCain would have a big day on Super Tuesday, and he did. According to this article, McCain now has 707 delgates, about 59 % of the way there. Romney, on the other hand, is now up to 294 delegates, which is just 25 % of the way there. But today I saw the news that Romney is suspending his presidential bid. Wow, I did not see that coming. I figured he would be around for at least one or two more primary days before McCain got an insurmountable lead. So now that Romney is out of the race that effectively gives John McCain the republican nomination. Huckabee says that he is still in the race, but he's even farther behind, so it is really over. Now the republicans can get themselves organized to take on the winner between Hillary and Obama. I think McCain has a better chance of beating Hillary than he does Obama, but I personally would rather see Obama beat Hillary.
