Blitzer: "Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen and we are already nearing our next projections with Governor Haslam leading in Tennessee by a giant margin. Marco Rubio had attempted to try and knock out Haslam here but he has been overcame. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton has a 9 point lead over Vice President Biden in the state of her husband's own Vice President, Al Gore."

12:30 AM
Blitzer: "It's 12:30 AM EST and we can Project that Bill Haslam has won the Tennessee Republican Primary in a landslide as he carries it with 76.22% of the vote. This means this is the third state Haslam has won every single delegate, which continues to boost his lead massively in Delegates tonight. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton wins but she is just a point under 50%, Thus she doesn't trigger the 50% Winner Take All system. She wins 70 Delegates but Biden wins 5 Delegates."

BERNIE SANDERS WINS OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Blitzer: "Now let's go to the big state of Texas. Already, Haslam is leading Ted Cruz as he shows dominance in Texas' southern counties. Senator Rubio, is doing well in the south of the Lone Star state due to massive support among Hispanics, including in San Antonio. Haslam sweeps most of Texas' center counties, including the Travis county (Austin's location). This could lead to Cruz dropping out here if he loses Texas. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton is already showing a big lead though Biden at least is fighting him well enough."

For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton is the winner with 43.21% of the vote and she gets 130 Delegates because of this though Biden finished a close second with 41.56% of the vote and gets 120 Delegates and finally Bernie Sanders gets 1 Delegate after a lat place finish with 15.23% of the vote. A big win for both Haslam and Clinton as now they are assured the lead in both primaries."

HILLARY CLINTON WINS AMERICAN SAMOA DEMOCRATIC CAUCUSES
Blitzer: "Curious results. John, Anderson, how do you feel about Tonight?"

Cooper: "If we're speaking about the Democrats, tonight started out great for Bernie but now it is Hillary's night. She now has won a total of 463 Delegates tonight while Biden has won 245 Delegates and Bernie has won 204 Delegates tonight. We add that to the totals of each Candidate and here we stand:

Bernie - 279 Delegates

Hillary - 520 Delegates

Joe - 292 Delegates.

Colorado is the only state left to be called for the Democrats and it likely to be pro-Bernie and Pro-Biden, but tonight has been a great night for Hillary Clinton."

King: "For the Republicans, again, this is Haslam's night. He's won all but 3 of the primaries so far while tonight has been awful for Cruz as he hasn't won a single state. Haslam has won 409 Delegates, Rubio has won 128 Delegates and Cruz has won 10 Delegates tonight. We add that to their totals and we can see why Haslam is so strong tonight:

Haslam - 489 Delegates

Rubio - 179

Cruz - 19 Delegates

Alaska remains for the Republicans and while it will likely go to Cruz, I think many are curious if Cruz will drop out after tonight due to his loss in Texas."

Blitzer: "Thank you for that analysis. We have only the Colorado Democratic Caucuses and Alaska Republican Caucuses left to call. Stay tuned as we take a short break."

With the March primaries just beginning, I think many are curious how both primaries will turn out like. Thank you for watching tonight's coverage ladies and gentlemen. We hope you tune in to the coverage of the Louisiana, Maine, Kentucky and Kansas Republican primaries and caucuses and also the Democratic primaries and caucuses and Louisiana, Nebraska and Kansas in 4 days.

An Idea

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) 2009-2017
Governor Bill Haslam (R-TN) 2017-2025
Senator Julian Castro (D-TX) 2025-2033
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) 2033-??

The Julian Castro idea is interesting but you still have to WAS for Haslam's VP. Within the next few updates, expect a surprise.
 
New Polls VI
Thanks to his great success on Super Tuesday and Ted Cruz dropping out, Bill Haslam has shot to a 19 point lead over Marco Rubio in the National polls for the Republican Primaries and is widely expected to be the Nominee now more than ever. With assured Victories in Ohio, Illinois, and North Carolina as well as him getting closer to leading in Rubio's Home State of Florida. For the Democrats, however, the race is only getting tighter as Sanders leads Biden by 1 Delegate but for the first time, Hillary Clinton is leading both Biden and Sanders in the polls due to her very needed Victories in Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, giving her a big boost in Delegate count over her opponents.

It's great so far. Haslam sounds like a great GOP nominee. I'll wait to see who he picks for his running mate, who the Democrats pick, and what hos cabinet is like. Can PM you ideas for this, if you're interested.
