Congrats to both campaigns on Super Tuesday

Not a lot of nail biters tonight; though Massachusetts was quite close
Each campaign walked away with a good amount of delegates.
I don't think either side can claim they exceeded expectations -- though there will be those who likely will try.
I saw reports on one side claiming they'd win all but one (one person thought all) and the other looking at 6 wins.
The campaign moves on
Celebrate the states you won. Console yourself with a drink over the loses and move on to the next races

Remember for those overseas voters, Democrats Abroad ballots are out. I've sent mine in.
If you aren't registered I think you still can do so. But, you only got a week to vote

To everyone out there whether your state has voted or not...


If you didn't vote and there were down ballot things to vote on
and WTF happened? If you couldn't get to the polls that's one thing. If you could have and chose not to, with house primaries, or state rep legislature primaries or propositions why didn't you vote?
If it was all uncontested... you have my sympathies

Oh, on a happy joy-joy note... The Great Swampies prediction failed (Herr Donald)... Forrest Trump did not run the table in the rest of the primaries and caucuses

I'm not virulently opposed to the other candidate--I'd crawl through broken glass to vote for her against Trump.

I miss the old DU where people were supportive of each other and I like your positive attitude.

Makes a refreshing change!

Hillary had a good day yesterday, and I'm pleased. Congratulations to Bernie's campaign and supporters.

Looking forward to the next slate of states over the next two weeks
I'm hoping, given how many states there were and that each candidate has something to hang their hat on, that people will focus more on their candidates success and less on the other side

But also, I think I'm in a state of denial on that one
