Polls Predict Easy Ride for McCain

State-by-state look gives him Super Tuesday victory

(NEWSER) - Snowballing support for John McCain means he could just about wrap it up on Super Tuesday, TPM Election Central reports. A state-by-state look at the 21 races sees him leading in most and, thanks to differing rules on apportioning of GOP delegates, McCain will walk away from Romney states with some delegates, while Romney will get zilch from McCain states where he comes a strong second.

(NEWSER) - Mitt Romney is counting on California delegate math to keep his White House bid alive past Super Tuesday, the AP reports.
