Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

After tonight, voters in more than half of the states in the country will have cast their votes for the nominees of their respective Parties. This is the closest thing we will have to a national election for the primaries.

When this race started more than a year ago, most Americans thought that their vote would not matter on this day and that the race of nominee would be determined by Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina; like it had in year's past.

But today, voters in the across the nation go to the polls; and their votes actually matter.

Today we turn to calling Tsunami Tuesday. Feel free to post your picks in the comments section and join us in live chat tonight!

(Instead of picking percentages, we will pick the winner and first loser from each state. Winner is defined as walking away the most delegates; for winner take all states we will only pick the winner.)

Storyline: "McCain carries the most number of states; but fails to win a majority of them. However, he emerges as the clear front runner. Huckabee's assertion that Romney is taking votes from him is vindicated in the exit polls."
