Today is Super Tuesday, the biggest primary day of the presidential election calendar. Voters in 16 states go to the polls today.
In an ordinary year, this would be great fun, suspense, intrigue and more. For a news junkie like me, it is better than Super Bowl Sunday. The networks would trot out their top line talent and technology. It was must see TV.
Super Tuesday this year isn't so super.
Trump and Biden have their respective party nominations locked up. The only question is the sizes of the victories. While the networks will cover the results, the wall-to-wall stuff is shunted off to the streaming services.
Many of the states voting today have open primaries, meaning independents can vote. There can be some party lines crossed as well, so there might be a surprise or two. It's still worth watching.
This is as close as America comes to a national primary-- and, that national primary isn't a bad idea. There were plenty of states that shifted their primary dates this year. It will be interesting to see how many modifications there will be in 2028.
