Super Tuesday Party Divisions and Next Steps of the Race
Tags: Barack Obama, Campaign, Delegates, Democrat, elections, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Presidential-Race, Republican, vote, warA menagerie of in-fighting are coming to the surface in the news from Super-Tuesday. Here is a sampling:
- John McCain (R) asks his loudest conservative critics to "calm down" and requests party unity.
- Mitt Romney‘s (R) calling "foul" against McCain alluding his campaign swung delegates behind Mike Huckabee (R) in W. Virginia to "steal" delegates away from his campaign.
- Huckabee is staying in the race (for now), and hasn’t taken much of a swipe at the other two…but if he is offered a role in the McCain campaign which he accepts, it could theoretically end the Republican race immediately (keep and eye on this).
- Barack Obama (D) and Hillary Clinton (D) are staring each other down and saying they will play nice, while they dig for deeper dirt on conflicting claims and strategy weakness of the other.
- Barack is now saying the GOP will have tons of "dirt" on Hillary due to her past, and he is the best Democrat-hope to win the Presidential election as a result.
- John Edwards (D), while out of the race, can swing the delegates he won prior to his departure from the race, to either candidate…and he is being tight-lipped on the topic altogether.
Next on the calendar; primary elections in big states.
- 12-February: Maryland and Virginia
- 19-February: Wisconsin
- 4-March: Texas and Ohio
- 22-April: Pennsylvania
- 6-May: North Carolina
- August: If after all of the state voting there is no clear-cut victor for the Democrats, the Democratic convention will yield the final party decision.
Keep your eye on the ball, listen to who is saying what, and take notes! The Presidential-Race.net guess is you’ll see a lot more promises made to align voters to their topic of choice. (Note, you can already hear Barack "borrowing" his speaking lines from the strong-suits of the other contenders. The trick is can he, or anyone else for that matter, keep the promises that will be made?)
