February 5th: Here I Go Again

Submitted by Travis Valentine on 2/5/08

(Yeah, we're going there. Best if read while listening to Whitesnake. Other suggestions welcome in the comments section.)

- Disclaimer: For the simple fact that I can't keep up with them, I refuse to put poll data in this post. Instead, I strongly encourage all of you to play this quiz. Now that I've put that out there, let's get down to business.

- Super Duper Awesomely Important Tuesday is upon us! I'm not trying to take attention away from Fat Tuesday, but the candidates are once again making their final pitches, appeasing (or facing criticism from) their base and channeling the underdog spirit of the NY Giants.

- Also, be sure to check out NDN commentary on the elections right here on our blog.

- Dan Balz offers his “8 Questions Super Tuesday Could Answer” in the Washington Post.

- The New York Times explains (in graphical form) how delegates are awarded in each states for both Democrats and Republicans.

- Hat's off to the Washington Post for integrating some new tools in their Super Tuesday coverage: the Post has a mobile module to offer text message updates to subscribers throughout the day.

- As usual, I've attempted to compile the ads running in all of the February 5th States. I'm going to be updating this and eating my fastnachts throughout the day. However, if you see a mistake or have one to add, please let us know! Also, each state will link to a major newspaper (or preferred local paper) indigenous to that state. Special thanks to Oliver Gilbert, a diligent intern of ours who helped me with this!
