A Sea Of Red

Rather than continuing to post threads after every primary, I thought it'd be best to keep a running thread going here. So, after Iowa, New Hampshire, Wyoming (for the GOP), Michigan, Nevada and South Carolina (for the GOP), here's where the candidates stand...

Standings listed in this format: x. Candidate - Delegates Won - Delegates Needed for Nomination, (Candidates with no delegates won thus far are omitted )

Democrats (need 2,025 delegates to win)

1. Barack Obama - 38 - 1,987
2. Hillary Clinton - 36 - 1,989
3. John Edwards - 18 - 2,007

Republicans (need 1,191 delegates to win)

1. Mitt Romney - 59 - 1,132
2. Mike Huckabee - 39 - 1,152
3. John McCain - 36 - 1,155
4. Fred Thompson - 5 - 1,186
5. Ron Paul - 4 - 1,187
6. Duncan Hunter - 2 - 1,189
7. Rudy Giuliani - 1 - 1,190

I'll try to keep things updated as the primaries move along.

Thanks, Scorcho. The next couple weeks are going to be very interesting...
...SC for the Dems next Sat...
...FL for both on the 29th...
...and Super Tuesday on Feb 5!

the longer this thing goes the more frustrated I get with politics in general....I just wish Americans weren't so brainwashed with the whole 2 party system...it kills me....both parties are slowly tearing this country apart....

but maybe i am just doom and gloom...but thats just how i see it

If you go back and analyze past elections, you will find this is more wide open on both sides than since the early part of the 20th century. I find it refreshing that it ain't a done deal.

I'm still waiting to see who'll be the third person that has no shot at winning but will shake things up and make it interesting...

'Never took a poli sci course in college, so I had to look this up:

Super Tuesday (2008), Super Duper Tuesday[1][2][3][4], Giga Tuesday, Tsunami Tuesday[5], and The Tuesday of Destiny are names for the day on which the largest-ever number of state U.S. presidential primary elections will be held on a single day, February 5, 2008.[6] Twenty-four states are scheduled to hold caucus or primary elections for one or both parties on this date.

No other GOP candidate received any votes. The Democrats hold their Wyoming caucuses on March 8th.
