AP has a fascinating story that says the race for the White House is so close right now that the outcome from Super Duper Tsunami Salami Tuesday won't decide the nominee. It could, however, give a candidate the momentum to seal the deal.
Here's the interesting part:
"A lot of people were predicting that this presidential election on both sides was going to be this massive sprint that ended on Feb. 5," said Jenny Backus, a Democratic consultant who is not affiliated with any candidate. Now it's looking as if the primaries after Super Tuesday — including such big, delegate-rich states as Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania — could grow in importance.
"Maybe some states were better off waiting," said Backus.
Did Minnesota make a mistake by having an earlier caucus date?
