February 4th, 2008 9:13 am ET I watched the Super Bowl and was pulling all the way for Eli and the Giants!! I was SO glad when they made that final touchdown and sealed the deal! The Pats and Brady thought that they would walk all over the Giants but they actually got their butts handed to them on a platter! LOVED IT!! I personally thought most of the Super Bowl ads were stupid! The best was the Anheuser-Busch one. I loved the dog training the horse with the Rocky music going on in the background. Then at the end the horse and the dog gave each other a high-five! That was cool! I guess the fun is over and it’s time to get back to business! I think it’ll be an extremely tight race between Hillary and Obama Tuesday! It’s hard to say who will win! I’m not even sure on the Rep. side. But I am thinking that McCain may eek out a victory on this one! I think Huckabee will take votes away from Romney so that’ll help. I always thought that those boys dumped Holloways body out at sea so this is really no suprise to me. The trick is how are they going to prove it! Can this so called confession be used?

February 4th, 2008 10:04 am ET I have to say I was for the Giants too! GO ELI! Thank God that he one, now he doesn’t have to be in the shadow of his brother Peyton. They are an oustanding family huh? As for those commercials, I still can’t stop laughing! The baby that kept talking about making trades on E-Trade, OMG that was soooooo funny! I still have the picture in my head when he threw up on the keyboard, and the creepy clown! LOL |

February 4th, 2008 10:14 am ET I think you all did the top stories in reverse order of importance - although I’m sure the guys will like the ordering. I didn’t watch the game, so I missed it and the commercials. Glad they both were noteworthy. Super Tuesday looks like it will be a real cliff hanger if the polls are right., especially on the Democratic side which looks like a dead heat. Think it will be a long night Tuesday night and we may not know even then who the nominee will be. Exciting election - more than any election in a long time. You gave me a good laugh with that last story about the Mayor and the dog - is the implication that politics is going to the dogs??? If so, its pretty apt! Annie Kate |

February 4th, 2008 10:30 am ET GO GIANTS!!! What a game! I was so happy for Eli. And there is nothing better than Michael Strahan’s smile, huh? Best commercials were the ETrade baby and the Anheuser-Busch spots. That baby was hysterical. Okay, I hope Super Tuesday isn’t as intense as the game. I’m not sure I can take that much excitement in one week. Seriously, the race looks close for the Dems. Wow, this week is history in the making! Glad to see you back, Morning Buzz dude! |

February 4th, 2008 10:33 am ET USA TODAY/Gallup Poll on Sunday showed Barack Obama wiping out Hillary Rodham Clinton’s double-digit national lead just before coast-to-coast contests on Tuesday. So I guess we can interpret this to mean that Hillary is going to clean up on Super Tuesday. Does anyone trust the polls anymore? I sure don’t. I don’t follow football that closely but it was hard to escape hearing about how amazing Tom Brady and The New England Patriots were these past few weeks, so it was kind of interesting when I was channel surfing and saw the New York Giants celebrating and the Patriots looking dejected. Politics and sports are similar in that you can’t always correctly predict their outcomes. |

February 4th, 2008 12:24 pm ET Well, Congrats to the NEW JERSEY Gaints. On the political side. ALL the candidates are preaching to the choir for me. I voted over 2 weeks ago, and I can imagine that a chunk of Ca. registered voters who are perm absentee voters have done also. So how correct can the pollsters be? Are these voters included in their polls? |

February 4th, 2008 4:59 pm ET We continue to yap about African-Americans and latino voters? What about the first americans in the United States? American Indians…hello out there. Is anybody out there? Our needs are great just like everybody else. There is not a candidate that has come to our Native Reservation to ask about what our needs are. Do they just want our vote? |
