    As Russert said yesterday, his rumpled tie flying madly around his spinning head, 'THERE ARE TWO SUPER BOWLS THIS YEAR! ONE SUNDAY, ONE TUESDAY!!'

    JoMac was only pulling 40 percent in his home state. Not even a majority.

    OK...bottom line it for me since I haven't been keeping up with the exact numbers. Let's say Hillary and Barack split the states in the Super Tuesday primary, with each getting a fair share of key states.

    Where does that leave it, in terms of total delegate numbers? And is there any way for this to go down to the convention wire? I ask because, honestly, when was the last time the actual convention had drama over who would get the nomination? (keep in mind, I didn't start paying close attention until '84, or maybe '88.)

    Hard to say because different states apportion delegates in different ways. It's a Charlie Foxtrot, to be frank. But if Hillary and Obama split delegates right down the middle, Hillary still holds an edge because of the superdelegates (earlier described as elected officials and other Dem officials whose endorsements are not tied to a public vote).

    Hillary, win Illinois? Why do you think she chose to carpetbag her precious ass to New York?

    All other things being equal (a huge presumption, I know), if she'd tried for the Senate out of Illinois against a representative opponent in a balanced year, she loses. Downstate KILLS her.

    And upstate is Obama country. Obama probably gets 70% in the Land of Lincoln.

    I was so hoping we could get by Super Bowl Sunday before starting the Super Tuesday thread, but I thought wrong. ::)

    Then there's Super Signing Day Wednesday afterward ... a beating unto itself.

    I've got Super UIL Realignment Day tomorrow.

    If Fenian watches Star Wars one more damn time I'm going after George Lucas.
