Super Tuesday

On February 5, 24 states had their primary elections. This day is called super Tuesday. The Democrats have 1,681 delegates at stake, and the Republicans have 1,020. McCain is now in the lead for the Republican party by a lot. The Democratic party has a much closer competition. Clinton is now in the lead, but Obama is very close.

In California Hillary Clinton was the candidate that won the Democrat primary election. She received 2,107,758 votes,52% of the votes, and 42 delegates. Obma received 1,717,681 votes, 42% of the votes, and 23 delegates. Also in California, McCain won the primary election. He received 975,363 votes, 42% of the votes, 116 delegates. Romney received 790,515 votes, 34% of the votes, and 3 delegates.

In New York Clinton won the Democratic primary again. She received 1,003,632 votes, 57% of the votes, and 127 delegates. Obama received 697,914 votes, 49% of the votes, and 87 delegates. In New York McCain won the primary election. He received 310,814 votes, 51% of the votes, and 101 delegates.

In Illinois Obama won the primary election for the Democratic party. He received 1,301,954 votes, 65% of the votes, and 72 delegates. Clinton received 662,845 votes, 33% of the votes, and 37 delegates. In Illinois McCain won the Republican primary. He received 124,071 votes, 47% of the votes, and 54 delicates.

In the primary elections in Minnesota Obama was the winner of the Democratic party. He received 137,586 votes, 67% of the votes, and 48 delegates. Clinton received 66,043 votes, 32% of the votes, and 24 delegates. The winner of the Republican party was Romney he received 25,894 votes, 41% of the votes, and 36 delegates. McCain received 204,027 votes, 41% of the votes, and 18 delegates.

I think that McCain will stay in the lead for the Republican party. I think this because none of the other candidates are even close to getting as many delegates that he has gotten. I'm not really sure what i think will happen with the Democratic candidates because they are so close. I think that Clinton will not stay in the lead for long because Obama and her are so close.
