What the heck is this "Super Tuesday" crap on MSNBC?
Is this a media invention or am I missing something? There's almost a year before the REAL "super tuesday" isn't there??

1. No
you didn't miss anything, this is an invention of the NBC/MSNBC marketing department. IMO, not a very good one and their marketing department needs to focus on making many of their hosts more appealing since Abrams won't fire them.

3. I wandered over to MSNBC this morning...
I watch it once in a blue moon, and I'm as confused as you are. The only explanation I can come up with is that 1) It's Tuesday, and 2)They interviewed some spokespeople for Rep. and Dem. candidates.

4. I think it is the media hyping itself. By the time
we do actually get to vote Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy will be the top contenders.

7. They figure they have a year to swiftboat the dems and they
have to get to it. Have you heard the crap they are spewing. And only giving clips of what the dems say.
