Hillary Clinton wins Massachusetts: Wellesley Women trump Kennedy-Kerry.

Mitt Romney wins Utah ... Who says voters will hold his religion against him?

What would Bill Clinton say about Barack Obama's victory today in North Dakota, a state with all of 5,000 black residents? That's 1/14th as many as live in Iowa.

I admit some results are perplexing. Clinton wins Oklahoma, Obama takes Kansas. Can someone tell me what's the difference between those two states? I've been to them both. Someone said one day Kansas blows into Oklahoma, the next day it blows back. Obama wins Georgia and Alabama, Clinton wins Tennessee. If North Carolina had been voting today -- if only -- who would have won the Dem primary?

Mike Huckabee, winner in Arkansas and West Virginia (add Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee) today, tells CNN it's not over until the f ... final votes are tallied. (Super dieter Huckabee refuses to put any fat ladies on the spot).

Overall, John McCain is kicking butt. He's even a strong second in Massachusetts, where Romney was a successful governor. He's racking up huge numbers of delegates and now looks like a sure bet to capture the GOP nomination. Can McCain win North Carolina in November and continue the Republican winning streak in presidential elections here? I say yes if Clinton is the Democratic candidate but a toss-up if it's Obama.

And who is it going to be, Clinton or Obama? Looks like Super Tuesday is not going to sort that out. As I write -- 11:10 p.m. -- I'm hearing California is going to be close. That means they'll more or less split that huge cache of delegates. I don't know if the Dem outcome still will be in doubt by the time North Carolina votes a long three months from now, but it's sure going to continue and maybe increase in intensity after tonight.
