Pardon my ignorance as a non-American, but what is the out-come of super Tuesday? Was it decided who is running and with whom?

On the Republican side, McCain is in the lead, 2nd place, Romney "suspended" his campaign, and 3rd place, Huckabee, has not pulled out. Huckabee doesn't have much of a chance, so it's pretty much assumed that McCain will be the Republican candidate.

On the Democratic side, Clinton is only winning by 1% or something over Obama? They're pretty much neck and neck. Edwards dropped out, so I think it's pretty much down to Clinton v. Obama as the Democratic candidate (which has not been decided yet.)

I'm not sure of when the rest of the states are voting?

Washington is this upcoming week (and weekend, I think) - Obama and Clinton are both in Seattle on Saturday.

Oregon (a blue state) doesn't vote until May I think ...?

I'm kinda interested in it all this year - usually by the time we vote it doesn't much matter because there's already a strong front runner. We might actually count this year

Eh, I am still bummed that Joe Biden dropped out. I liked Chris Dodd too. I haven't decided yet if I like Clinton or Obama. But whoever wins, I hope they pick Biden or Dodd as a running mate. Fat chance, I suppose, but that would be a good ticket IMO.
