Hillary Clinton moved ahead of Barack Obama in the race for Democratic Party delegates in the 2008 presidential race on Super Tuesday, while John McCain surged to an overwhelming lead in the Republican Party’s delegate race over Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee.

No candidate in either party came out with enough of a lead to end the party presidential competition just yet, however. So much for the national TV pundits who predicted it would all be over and we would know the identity of the party nominees by today.

Clinton now controls 732 delegates and Obama holds 639, with 2,025 delegates required to claim the nomination at this summer’s convention in Denver.

McCain has now amassed 525 delegates, Romney controls 223 and Huckabee has 145, while It takes 1,191 to win the nomination at this summer’s convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.
