Super Tuesday - the First Cut

Super Tuesday was yesterday and the preliminary results are in the record books. Coming out of that experience there remain exactly two feasible candidates for the Democrat nomination: Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. Biden won more states than Sanders (9 vs 4) but Bernie was ahead in the biggest prize - California.

Warren and Bloomberg accrued embarrassingly few votes and both should drop out, though it isn’t clear either will do so. Only Maine remained uncalled as of a half hour ago. We don’t yet know the delegate totals each candidate won in each state, those should become clear in the next few days.
