...long ago, I was on YouTube.com. By not too long ago, I mean yesterday. The Web site has become what I am prepared to call an obsession—and with Super Tuesday on my mind, this night was more approximate to a craze. Amidst the frenzy, I managed to stumble upon a clip of Hillary Clinton in one of last year’s Democratic debates. The question posed was, “Are you a liberal?” As Hillary furtively and spinelessly answered the simple question—in effect saying no—I began...
Mitt Romney’s decision to end his presidential campaign yesterday came as a disappointing but unsurprising blow to his supporters at Harvard, just one day after a disappointing Super Tuesday for the former Massachusetts governor. In the 24 states holding caucuses or primaries earlier this week, Arizona Senator John McCain all but clinched the Republican nomination for president.

Obama also rallied a crowd of 10,000 in Omaha on Thursday, while the only attention the state is seeing from a Clinton was a visit at the same time by first daughter Chelsea. And in Washington State...
...candidates have been in a flat-out sprint since December. The fierce struggle for the first four contests left them tied, and Super Tuesday - a blizzard of 22 states voting at once - was an expensive and exhausting hurdle that did little to determine a victor. Now the race is settling down to a kind of waltz, two states here, three contests there, in the run-up to the next crucial showdown on March 4, when the delegate-rich states of Ohio and Texas hold their primaries. Clinton is banking on those two states, with their large Latino or blue-collar...
