On the way to knowing -- More about Super Tuesday

By Carol Gee

Most of us political junkies are very curious about what the bottom line will be today regarding all these primaries. Many do not have access to regular communication channels, but could sneak in a quick peek during their workday. For all of you "peekers," here's a quick round-up of a few election day news stories from Memeorandum.

• HUCKABEE WINS WEST VIRGINIA GOP CONTEST IN SECOND ROUND, WITH HELP FROM MCCAIN, according to Fox News. This happened at their Republican Convention.
• Josh Marshall at TPM has all the latest on the wide spread between two polls, Survey USA and Zogby.
• Rush Limbaugh endorsed Mitt Romney today, coming out in strong opposition to Senator McCain, Hot Air reported this afternoon.
• Open Secrets.org. reported that the "Cost of '08 Presidential Race Already Tops All Elections Prior to '04" To quote: "In 2007 the field of presidential candidates for '08 raised $582.5 million and spent $481.2 million."
• And here's a surprise, though it shouldn't be surprising at all. Think Progress reports that "Anti-War Candidates Are Top Recipients Of ‘08 Donations From U.S. Troops."
• Here is the latest from the Zogby Poll. Not surprisingly, McCain has a healthy lead and Clinton and Obama are running neck and neck:
  

  Arizona Sen. John McCain continued to dominate among Republicans in the states polled in the surveys, with 50% or more supporting him in New Jersey and New York. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won less than half that in those states.

  Romney continued to lead, however, in delegate-rich California, with 40% support in that state, to McCain’s 33%. The Republican race was tighter in Missouri, with McCain ahead with 34% support, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in second with 27% and Romney third with 25% support.

  On the Democratic side, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama continued to fight neck and neck for their party’s voters and delegates. Obama solidified his lead in California, but Clinton pulled ahead in New Jersey, where the two had been tied in the previous poll.
