Ask me a question

WASHINGTON DC: As I said in the early hours of the morning, it was a night that decided nothing. A night that posed more questions than it answered.

I'd like to hear what questions you are asking, and to have a go at answering some of them.

So please write to me using the comment form below.

Replies tomorrow.

WASHINGTON DC: In all the post-match analysis, one story strikes me as a very big deal because it is about facts on the ground, as it were, and it will change the tone of the coverage on the Democratic side if it turns out to be true.

It is the suggestion - to put it baldly - that Obama won!

Night of political passion

Hillary Clinton at her Super Tuesday election night rally in New York WASHINGTON DC: This is a night that decides nothing but will go down in history nonetheless. It is a night of political passion - a night of reinvigoration of the political muscles that have become so wasted during the Bush years.

Is it the night the Republican party - 1964 anyone? - stares into the abyss? It is the night the Democrats wonder whether it is sometimes possible to have too much of a good thing. It is the night that Hillary Clinton wonders where the money is going to come from now...

Nastiness ahead?

Supporters of Barack Obama WASHINGTON DC: This is Alice in Wonderland: "Everybody has won, all must have prizes!" Obama friend and adviser Cassandra Butts has just given the BBC an impassioned interview in which she asserts that this goes now all the way to the Democratic National Convention in August. Could get nasty.

The question is whether the Republicans also make that journey. It seems to me the risk of civil war in the Republican party has been increased by the results tonight, because the fight in the Republican party is over policy as well as personality. Happy Birthday Roberta McCain by the way - she is 96 in a couple of days.

UPDATE 0558 GMT: I'm heading into a studio now to co-present the Today programme on BBC Radio 4... My final thoughts on the night, here, in three hours.

Huckabee mugs Romney

WASHINGTON DC: The story of the night so far is Mike Huckabee, is it not? He has plainly damaged Mitt Romney in the South and equally plainly he has stayed in the race with the intention of doing that. Feeling sorry for Mitt Romney is not, I admit, an easy task, but he has been mugged by a former Baptist minister, of that there is no doubt.

My question now: does Huckabee get a McCain VP call BUT with the proviso not that he pulls out (which would be the normal call) but that he STAYS IN THE RACE to see Romney off over the next month or so?
