Super Tuesday was good to Barack!

Obama Rocks Across America!

A broad base of support, in all the right places for the general election. Go Obama!!!

Obama wins Illinois, Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, North Dakota, Connecticut, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Idaho, Delaware, Missouri and Alaska!

Comes relatively close in New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey, which is good for the delegate fight.

In the end Obama won 13 states to Hillary's 8.1 (she gets .1 for American Samoa, but of course all the media reported it 13 to 9, aka dead even, wtf?).

Obama won the delegate battle for the day, expanding his already existing lead. Obama tied the popular vote, so he still leads the overall primary popular vote.

And for a little fun:

Obama won 73.4% of the land up for grabs on Super Tuesday (1,423,315 sq miles) to Hillary's paltry 26.6% (516,823 sq miles).

When all is said and done, Obama does an awesome job all across the country, he won all of these against all odds, and he did it by inspiring Americans of all colors, genders, and ages like no one has been able to do in decades. He is going into the post-Tuesday landscape strong, and he'll be able to seal this deal. Hopefully Edwards will now come in and lay down his support. It is now or never for Edwards to prove he was actually serious about change versus status quo. He needs to work with Obama to seal the deal, and shed the shackles of the Democratic party of the past.
