This is a guy who four months ago wasn't even polling close in ANY of these states.

He's taken on the Clinton organization and he's pulling 45 - 50% of the vote and the night is still young.

Pretty stunning for a guy who started out a year ago with almost no money and no name recognition.

2. Thanks for giving him credit!
He's run a great campaign. I hope he keeps it close enough to stay in. That would make my night!

5. Believe it or not
I'm actually fine with either of them ending up as the nominee. I'm just a bit more committed to one. :)

I think Obama is a very powerful candidate and this is a long way from being over.

6. Obama is making an impressive showing
I don't know who will come out on top, but this is quite a contest, and Obama has already become a national leader.

9. Let the Clinton supporters gloat...
I'll bet the Clinton campaign is getting heartburn over the delegate totals...

15. I think you would be surprised how most feel - It's a great night to be a dem
Whether or not someone is a Hillary or Obama supporter.

They both are fantastic!

10. doing well in the south is good news
it`s going to be interesting how many voted for both candidates...

you realize that this would be a far better race without the super tuesday? the old system was fewer states and a longer run..more ebb and flow between the candidates and edwards would still be in it. this super tuesday is stupid...oh i forgot the state demo leaders of florida and michigan screwing the people for their own egos. that`s the real story so far.
