Super-Duper Tuesday Will Matter

The primary season has been very, very exciting, especially in the world of AP US Government. The primaries are so exciting because no one is a front runner at all. So much money was spent in Iowa for the caucus and Obama and Huckabee won. However, we went right back to where we started when Clinton and McCain won. Basically no one knows who is going to win the Democratic and Republican nomination after the two most important primaries of the election. This makes many happy because this means that the field will be open for the February 5th which is when the primaries are for California and 23 other states. Everything is going crazy with Hillary's surprising win and Romney's silver wins. This is going to be a tight race and who knows if religious conservatives will continue to vote for Huckabee or they will vote for another candidate. Romney needs saving and Thompson needs to win South Carolina or he will be out of the race completely. Also, Edwards needs to think fast or he might need to drop out, especially since Kerry will now help out Obama. Richardson is out, so who will drop out next?

Basically all this political drama means that the two presidential candidates are not set in stone, as they usually are, in the small (kind of wimpy in delegates) states of New Hampshire and Iowa. This all means that Super-Duper Tuesday (February 5th) will be one of the most important primaries for all voters, which is really exciting because this hasn't happened in a long time. Usually when California is supposed to vote the vote does not really mean anything because the two candidates were picked already by Iowa and New Hampshire. However, there is no clear winner meaning that this is going to be one exciting primary season. I am glad that bigger and more diverse states, like CA, will pick the next presidential hopefuls. Mark your calendars for February 5th, if you can't vote tell someone, I sure will.
