Today is probably one of the best days ever. No, it is not my birthday. I still have 26 more days until that great day. Today is SUPER TUESDAY, or as I call it “Nerve-wracking Tuesday.” Although I love today, it is arguably one of the most stressful days. And not just for the candidates. The news is filled with whom to vote for, exit polling data, number of delegates to win the nomination, and of course, the ever-so-popular super delegates.

Sometimes I wonder why we even have national primaries, or a day that is geared toward finding out the Democratic or Republican nominee, when we may not know until one month later who will be representing “us.” Four years ago, Senator John Kerry clinched the Democratic nomination on March 2nd – the earliest day in modern times – with a succession of Super Tuesday primary victories. In 2000, George W. Bush and Al Gore clinched their party’s nomination in March 14th. What I am saying is, there will probably not be a clear front-runner. Of course, I have been wrong in the past, but the results are still exciting to watch for the day. The Republicans will probably have more of an idea of a nominee because some of their states have an “all or nothing,” delegate process. The Democrats, on the other hand, typically split up their delegates, making it harder to be determined.

I bet McCain is extremely excited right now. It will probably take a miracle for Huckabee, Paul, or even Romney, to pull the rabbit out of the hat. It may take Obama or Clinton a while to reach a majority (50% + 1) of the delegates. If this is the case, I anticipate the great state of Ohio cannot wait to cast their vote on March 4th. As we can all see, anything is possible with the election. I just hope it doesn’t drag all the way into conventions. No matter what happens, just make sure to GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
