Like many others, I never made it out of the house today so I spent my time reading the NYT and doing the crossword.
I read Caroline Kennedy's op-ed piece on her support for Barack.
Ad to that Edward K,s support and things are looking tense for Hillery.
Interesting that even after Super Tuesday we may not know who gets the prize.
Also nice to see that in S.C. the total voter turnout for McCain and Romney was less than those for just Obama. They reported all kinds of reasons why Republicans did not turn out to vote while there were a record number of Democrats voting in the later primary.
It will be an interesting year.

Clinton wins Nevada caucuses.
Clinton wins Nevada caucuses.
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) won today’s Democratic caucuses in Nevada, joining former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who won the GOP side.
UPDATE: The New York Times reports on the record turnout:
With 84 percent of the precincts reporting across the state, state party officials said more than 107,000 Nevada voters attended the caucuses. It is the third state in the row to achieve record-setting turnout in the Democratic presidential nominating fight, which party strategists believe is a referendum on the Bush administration and a strong call for a new direction in Washington.
Just 9,000 voters participated in the state’s 2004 Democratic caucus.
UPDATE II: Ari Melber at The Nation reports that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) may take the most delegates from Nevada, despite receiving fewer votes.
