  newser | New Republic | Apr 22, 08 5:59 PM CDT
  
  David Plouffe isn’t your typical political operative, but Barack Obama’s campaign manager is the genius who’s winning the ground war and the media contest. He’s obsessed with crunching numbers, the commander of a “nerd army,” and knows how to stay understated until it's time to strike. The New Republic takes his measure. More »

  newser | Christian Science Monitor | Feb 23, 08 5:26 AM CST
  
  Hillary Clinton invested heavily to try to lock up the Democratic presidential nomination on Super Tuesday—but that didn't happen, and her failure to plan for the long haul let Barack Obama rack up 10 straight wins since and left some doubting her management skills. Clinton's dwindling war chest also helped Obama gain momentum to raise funds: $37 million last month vs. Clinton's $15 million. More »

  newser | CNN | Feb 7, 08 11:23 AM CST
  
  In the wake of his poor Super Tuesday showing, Mitt Romney ended his presidential campaign this afternoon, CNN reports.

  John McCain's strong Super Tuesday showing has left him looking like a sure thing to win the Republican nomination, but Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are staying in the race and hoping for a change, the Wall Street Journal reports. "Once you're out of the race, you're out. But if you stay in, you have a chance to put something together," a Republican noted. More »

  Super Tuesday results highlighted the deep divides between voters on both the Democratic and Republican sides, Politico points out. Race and gender divided Dems, while the GOP is clearly splitting into hard-line conservatives versus the rest of the party.

- Four Takes on the GOP's Night
  
  newser | National Review | Feb 6, 08 12:46 PM CST
  
  With the big day behind us, four writers look to where Super Tuesday results leave the GOP: John McCain “had an impressive night,” says Jim Hood in National Review , but still lost in many states among Republicans—and had terrible conservatives stats. He’s no good for November unless he can “motivate disgruntled and distrustful Republican activists.” More »

  newser | New York Times | Feb 6, 08 10:47 AM CST
  
  It was a chastened, circumspect TV news machine that creaked into action last night, the New York Times reports. After trusting ultimately incorrect polls in New Hampshire, pundits seemed terrified of making bold calls—a strategy that worked out, since the primary bonanza settled nothing. The biggest gaffe came from the AP, which erroneously called Missouri for Hillary Clinton. More »

  newser | Politico | Feb 6, 08 8:17 AM CST
  
  With delegate allocations still incomplete after last night's voting, Barack Obama claims to have taken a lead over Hillary Clinton in Super Tuesday delegates. Counts vary, but they all show the two candidates virtually tied. NBC gives Obama about 840 to Clinton's 830—“give or take a few,” Tim Russert said on the Today show this morning, Politico reports. NBC has the running totals for the two Democrats only about 70 delegates apart, Russert said. More »

  newser | Time | Feb 6, 08 7:40 AM CST
  
  With Barack Obama still very much in the race after Super Tuesday, Hillary Clinton turned away from her rival momentarily to take aim at the Republicans last night. "I won't let anyone Swift Boat this country's future," Clinton announced to followers. But she can't afford to take the long view for long, reports Time: primaries in the next few weeks are thought to favor Obama, who is virtually tied in delegates. Clinton will look to recoup in Ohio and Texas primaries in March. More »

- Obama Cuts Clinton’s White Lead; Hillary Wins Latinos
  
  newser | New York Post | Feb 6, 08 6:33 AM CST
  
  One question hanging over Super Tuesday primaries was whether Barack Obama could attract white supporters across the country more effectively than he had in his South Carolina win. Obama answered that in the affirmative, losing white voters last night to Hillary Clinton by a much narrower margin of 44% to 50%. Clinton dominated among Hispanics by 61% to 38%, while Obama grabbed 80% of African-American voters, the New York Post reports. More »

  newser | Time | Feb 6, 08 6:16 AM CST
  
  With twice as many delegates as Huckabee and Romney combined, John McCain emerged last night as the unquestioned leader in the GOP race. “Tonight I think we must get used to the idea that we are the Republican party frontrunner," he told supporters gleefully. But his losses to Huckabee and Romney in the South and the Bible Belt, along with exit poll results, exposed real weakness with the party's base, Time reports More »

Speaking in Boston, Romney pledged to fight all the way to the convention, casting his campaign as a struggle to save the nation's future. "It's not all done tonight. We're going to keep on battling," he said. More »
