Super Tuesday Results Make Democratic Race a Biden, Sanders Matchup

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON - The race for the Democratic presidential nomination has
   consolidated from a once-crowded field with more than 20 candidates
   into essentially a two-man contest after robust results Tuesday for
   former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

   Biden won nine states, including the delegate-rich state of Texas where
   his victory was a surprise after early national polls showed Sanders
   with a commanding lead there. He was strong across the South, also
   capturing Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Tennessee and
   Arkansas, along with Minnesota and Massachusetts.

   Sanders took the state with the most delegates, California, as well as
   Colorado, Utah and his home state of Vermont.
