...Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama head into what some have jokingly called "sub-super Saturday," both presidential candidates are focused on Washington State, which, out of the quartet of primary contests to be held this weekend, offers the largest delegate haul...
...goes forward with a growing financial advantage, having raised $32 million in January, largely from small donors who can be tapped again. That fund-raising haul was better than twice the $13.5 million that Clinton took in over the same period. If anything, the Super Tuesday results, coupled with additional wins in coming weeks, are likely to bring in an even bigger flood of contributions to Obama, whose Internet-fueled coffers were already flush enough to buy Super Bowl advertising in the post-Super Tuesday primary states...
...Obama (and Edwards if he can stay competitive) simply carve Super Tuesday's nearly 1,700 delegates up three ways.

After he decisively beat former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in neighboring New Hampshire, McCain's low-budget campaign expected a windfall of fresh donations to help propel it forward. But the haul was disappointing; donors still weren't ready to buy in to a candidate they view as too much of a risk. The towering obstacle between McCain and victory is not so much his rivals for the nomination but the suspicion long held by many Republicans, especially rock-ribbed conservatives, that...
