Super Tuesday analysis

The SWAC political junkies attended an Augusta County Republican Committee meeting last night and afterwards talked politics while watching the Super Tuesday returns coming in from throughout the nation.

There is something energizing about discussing politics with others who are equally into it ... analyzing the numbers and discussing scenarios of what could happen and defending one's candidate. It was a friendly, jovial group of grassroots volunteers who have worked together through thick and thin throughout the years.

While many have commented on last night's results, I especially liked this wrap-up by Chris Green at Spank That Donkey. Tuesday's votes proved that Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee together could have stopped John McCain, and Chris proves that out in his post.

Now we go into the Virginia primary next Tuesday....

Super Tuesday and generational politics

Augusta GOP Chairman Kurt Michael over at SixtyFour81.com has taken the numbers and the generations (X, Y, Baby Boomers) and looked at tomorrow's Super Tuesday political bonanza to see who is backing whom ... and why.

Poll: Romney 30%, McCain 30%, Huckabee 21%

Michelle Malkin reports that the latest Rasmussen poll is showing a dead-heat between Mitt Romney and John McCain leading up to Super Tuesday. With conservative voters Romney is leading McCain by 16%; McCain has a 2-to-1 advantage with moderates. Ron Paul comes in at 5%.

Super Tuesday is February 5.
