Students share their opinions about Feb. 5’s Super Tuesday, the big round of primary elections to select official delegates to the national convention. John McCain is in a commanding lead for the Republican nomination with 707 delegates. The Democratic party nominee, however, is not so clear with Barack Obama (960 delegates) narrowly trailing Hillary Clinton (1,045 delegates).
“I started to watch the primaries around eight or nine, but the storm hit and knocked out the satellite. By the time it came back on I was falling asleep.”

“I don’t know a lot about (Super Tuesday) but I would like to see Obama win. There are a lot of good candidates running on each side.”
