McCain won the most delegates by far. Huckabee had the largest number of surprise victories. And Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fought tooth and nail for the delegate lead all night. However the big winner in all of it is the American people.
After a week of the chattering class declaring their undying hatred of all things McCain and Huckabee, it was those two very candidates who carried the day in the GOP.
Two weeks after every poll showed Clinton leading big in all the Super Tuesday states, the junior Senator from New York found herself in a pitched battle for delegates with an upstart challenger from Illinois.
The experts had spoken. But the voters had a different idea. If there has been one constant in this Presidential primary season it has been the refusal of the people to bow to the whims of the elite.
The American people will not be told how to vote. This country belongs to them and they know it. And that is the most inspiring story coming out of this Super Tuesday.
