Best Breakdown of Super Tuesday

Washington Post article "Defining Success on Super Tuesday" by Dan Balz is probably the best breakdown of what may happen on Super Tuesday that I've read today.

"On the Democratic side, everything points to an inconclusive outcome. The complex formulas for awarding delegates, say the experts, virtually guarantee that neither can gain a decisive edge after Tuesday's voting in 22 states. Each candidate sees potential for victories in all regions. Each will pick off a fair number of delegates in the other's home state. Each is preparing for upcoming contests and anticipating a race that could go as far as Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

The Republican race seems more predictable, but it has gone through enough surprises that another would no longer be a surprise. John McCain has his eyes fixed on effectively wrapping up the nomination with Tuesday's results, and he looks strong in many states."
