Super Tuesday settled little in the Democratic race. When the polls opened,
Sen. Hillary Clinton and Obama were neck and neck, and at the end of the day,
they remained so. Watch why the Democrats have a tough race ahead ?
Clinton scored significant wins Tuesday in eight states -- including California
, New York and Massachusetts -- and won more delegates. View which states
Clinton and Obama won ?
"I think you have to say winning California for Hillary Clinton is the tone
setter for the evening. Imagine if Hillary Clinton had lost California,"
Borger said.
But Obama won more states, 13, and leads Clinton in pledged delegates,
according to CNN calculations. Obama also counted Missouri, a national
bellwether state, among his victories, and the Illinois Democrat has been on
a fundraising tear. In January, he raised $32 million, his campaign reported.
"Heading into the next states ... Barack Obama has a money advantage,"
Borger said. "And now Hillary Clinton wants to debate every single week because
she doesn't have the money to compete with him for paid media. I think we'll
be seeing a lot more Obama and Hillary Clinton one-on-one."
The Democratic campaigns now turn their attention to the Louisiana primary and
Nebraska and Washington caucuses Saturday, the Maine caucuses Sunday and the
so-called Potomac primaries in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia
next Tuesday.
The candidates also have circled February 19 when Wisconsin holds its primary,
March 4 when voters in Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont head to the polls,
and April 22 in Pennsylvania.
While failing to win the biggest prizes of California and New York, Obama
should see many positive trends in the Super Tuesday results as he battles
Clinton,the presumptive nominee a few months ago.
"On the Democratic side, my sense is we're going into two, three weeks now
which will probably favor Obama," Gergen said.
