Dems split major states

By ABDON M. PALLASCH, ART GOLAB and FRANK MAIN

And the winner is ... hard to tell.

Sen. Barack Obama won more states, but Sen. Hillary Clinton may still win a few more delegates than Obama in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination when all of the numbers shake out from the 22 states that voted on "Super Tuesday."

Clinton took the biggest prize of the 22-state contest: California. But she will have to split the state's 370 delegates with Obama.

Considering that Clinton had wide poll leads over Obama in many of these states just weeks ago, Obama's backers say the results show the momentum is on his side as the campaign continues.

Arizona Senator Surges; Huckabee Strong in the South

By MICHAEL COOPER

Senator John McCain of Arizona won the most states and appeared poised to win the most delegates on Tuesday with impressive primary victories in the delegate-rich states of California, New York and Illinois. Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, revived his candidacy with victories across the South.

Their strong showings posed a serious challenge to the candidacy of Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, who vowed to press on with his campaign after winning in Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Utah and Alaska. He pinned his hopes on further strong showings in the West, and hoped to be able to still pick up delegates in California, whose delegates are awarded to the winner of each Congressional district.

As voters in 21 states made their choice for the Republican presidential nomination, several of Mr. McCain's victories came in states that award all their delegates to the statewide winner, including New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware, allowing him to proclaim himself the favorite.

"Tonight, I think we must get used to the idea that we are the Republican Party front-runner for the nomination of president of the United States," Mr. McCain said to cheers on Tuesday night in Phoenix, after winning his home state, Arizona. "And I don't really mind it one bit."

February 4, 2008: An excerpt from a story in the Daily News: 

Giants stun Patriots to win Super Bowl

BY RALPH VACCHIANO

GLENDALE, Ariz. - The imperfect Giants pulled off the perfect upset on Sunday night.

In what will go down as one of the biggest shockers in the history of the NFL, the surprising Giants ended their wildest season ever by stopping the New England Patriots' quest for perfection. They stunned the previously undefeated Pats, 17-14, in Super Bowl XLII to win their third Super Bowl championship and first in 17 years.

And they did it in typical heart-stopping fashion, as Eli Manning, the Super Bowl MVP, twice led them back from fourth-quarter deficits. Even after he threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress with 39 seconds remaining, the Giants' defense had to withstand one last assault by the Patriots' record-setting offense.

When they did, the Patriots (18-1) had fallen from the ranks of the unbeaten, setting off a celebration that will stretch from Miami, home of the '72 Dolphins - still the lone unbeaten team in NFL history - right up the Canyon of Heroes tomorrow.

"We were trying not to make this another feel-good story or another Patriots dynasty story," defensive end Michael Strahan said. "We were trying to start our own dynasty. A New York Giants dynasty."

"We shocked the world," added linebacker Antonio Pierce. "But not ourselves."
