The aptly-named Super Tuesday turbocharged the Democratic primary this week, propelling former Vice President Joe Biden into the lead in both delegates and the popular vote, supplanting Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders who had been the clear frontrunner until last week's blowout South Carolina primary revived Biden's moribund campaign. With former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg and, as of today, Senator Elizabeth Warren, exiting the race, the Democratic primary is now a contest between two septuagenarian career politicians from the northeast - who'da thunk? We asked career political data analyst Paul Mitchell to weigh in on the state of the race, what the Super Tuesday results portend, where Warren's supporters go now that she's out, and when we might have final results from California's primary.
