Super Tuesday
It's Super Tuesday in America. The day when 22 states are voting in their primaries to select their candidates for the Presidency. It really is a crazy system they have.
It is down to Barack Obama v Hillary Clinton for the Democrats and John McCain v Mitt Romney for the Republicans. McCain is expected to emerge triumphant from the Republican race today, but no outright winner is expected to emerge for the Democrats.
If I had a vote, it would got to Obama. He is the future of America.
UPDATE: What if the whole world have a vote? [Hat-tip to Norfolk Blogger]

Just A Win Away For Obama?
Barack Obama has told voters that he will become US President if he wins the Democratic Party's New Hampshire primary on Tuesday.
Fresh from his stunning eight-point victory in the Iowa caucuses, an assured Mr Obama landed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and declared: "If you give me the same chance Iowa gave me last night, I truly believe I will be President of the United States...
My throat's a little sore but my spirits are high because last night the American people began down the road to change and, four days from now, New Hampshire, you have the chance to change America." (The Telegraph)
I think he's slightly getting ahead of himself here. Even if he wins New Hampshire with the same - or even a higher - level of support than in Iowa, he still isn't even a shoe-in for the Democrat nomination, yet alone to win the Presidential election! There are, after all, 50 US states, and winning two of them hardly makes Obama's victory inevitable.Fresh from his stunning eight-point victory in the Iowa caucuses, an assured Mr Obama landed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and declared: "If you give me the same chance Iowa gave me last night, I truly believe I will be President of the United States...

What an Obama victory in New Hampshire certainly could do, however, is all but end Hillary Clinton's presidential ambitions - but I wouldn't completely rule her out quite yet, whatever happens.
Even if [or as many seen to think, when] Obama gets the Democrat nomination, he will still have to fight an election against whoever the Republicans select. No matter what, that isn't going to be a battle with an inevitable result. If Obama really truly believes that victory in New Hampshire will definitely get him the Presidency, he may well be getting caught up in his own spin. A week is a long time in politics, and November 4 is still the best part of a year away yet.
