Reflecting on Super Tuesday Results

Overall: This is about where the delegates were supposed to land. I think things are in place for Obama going forward.

The web coverage is fairly spot on but last night the TV talking heads didn't seem to get it. They focused on the win/ no win for the states like MA and CA instead of the delegate count which is the point. Drives me a little crazy actually. How is it that I can understand the proportional delegate thing and the brain trust at MSNBC can not?

Not Obama's best post election speech. Still fine, just not his best work. It felt like he rushed his preparation or the multi-state campaigning took him off his stride just a touch.

The Hillary speech was a transparent crib of prior Obama lines and she is trying to change up her delivery style to match his but it's not working.

With the MA and CA wins Hillary did well enough though to keep her funding going for now.

Now let's see how the next few days play out.
