Super Tuesday: While You're Waiting...
The day of reckoning is finally upon us: Voters in 24 states have begun heading to the polls to cast their votes in the busiest day yet of this frenzied presidential primary season. But with many of the most hotly contested battlegrounds located on the West Coast, it's going to be many hours (perhaps even days?) before the final results are in.
In the meantime, Ad Spotlight has compiled a handy list of the broadcast ads the six remaining candidates are airing in Super Tuesday states. NationalJournal.com's Kevin Friedl also compares the ad strategies of the two most cash-rich candidates in the race: Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.
If you're keeping score at home tonight, NationalJournal.com has a detailed chart of Super Tuesday states, including the types of contests they're holding and how many delegates are at stake in each race. Today's Poll Track, meanwhile, handicaps the contenders in each race based mostly on national polls, which, as Mark Blumenthal reminds us, are far from infallible.
Check back tomorrow morning for results from the Democratic and Republican contests, plus analysis by NJ's James Barnes and Ronald Brownstein. The Gate and Hotline's On Call will be following the results after the first polls close this evening.
