Five takeaways from Super Tuesday - so far
It is no longer Bernie Sanders versus a muddled mess of candidates in the moderate middle. Joe Biden emerged from Super Tuesday as the clear counterweight to Sanders. And he emerged strong.
So what are the top takeaways from the 14 contests on Super Tuesday, the biggest day on the Democrats’ primary calendar?Biden looked like a goner for much of February. He got creamed in Iowa, was creamed again in New Hampshire, and hobbled out of Nevada a distant second. His vast lead in the polls at the start of the race evaporated.

Now, voters have delivered their verdict and Bloomberg is under pressure to get out of the way and clear a path for Biden.
Warren supporters argue she still can rack up enough delegates to play an influential role at the Democrats’ convention in Milwaukee — or even emerge as a compromise candidate.She is a fierce presence on the debate stage. Warren’s broadsides arguably sank Bloomberg in the debates. She is an effective champion for equal rights, and makes a persuasive case for big economic change and expansive social programs to audiences that Sanders is not reaching.
