Last night Twitter had a field day mocking Chris Christie as he stood blank-faced for more than 20 minutes while Donald Trump delivered his post-Super Tuesday victory speech/rant. Christie may have been thinking about the six major New Jersey newspapers who yesterday jointly called for him to resign. Today comes a petition which demands that very thing: We have serious …

For real. He said that. The Huffington Post reports: A top Mormon leader made some eyebrow-raising claims about the gay community during a visit to Chile last week.

From Politico: If you can’t beat him, leave.

Sorry about that, Florida. Via CNN: GOP operatives told CNN early Wednesday morning that they’ll push Ben Carson to drop out of the Republican presidential race, and instead run for a U.S. Senate seat from Florida. It’s unclear how receptive the retired neurosurgeon will be to their pleas. Carson did not appear to be going anywhere as Tuesday night drew …

The Hill reports: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says the Republican Party may be forced to support presidential hopeful Ted Cruz in order to stop front-runner Donald Trump. “You know Ted Cruz is not my favorite, by any means,” Graham, who dropped his own bid for the White House in December, said in an interview with CBS. “But we may be …

Via Media Matters: Donald Trump’s presidential campaign gave press credentials to the white nationalist radio program The Political Cesspool, which says it will soon air an interview with Donald Trump Jr. National civil rights groups have criticized the program for supporting anti-Semites, Holocaust deniers, and white supremacists like David Duke. The show openly states on its website that it’s a …

Take that, Duggar family. The Associated Press reports: A state judge on Tuesday upheld a northwest Arkansas city’s ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, ruling that it doesn’t conflict with a law aimed at blocking local protections for gays and lesbians.

Some promising news out of West Virginia last night: The state Senate has put the brakes on the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration bill (HB4012), making significant language changes that bill supporters say guts the measure. The Senate, on a 23-11 vote Tuesday evening, approved an amendment by Sens. Corey Palumbo (D-Kanawha) and Ron Stollings (D-Boone) that said the RFRA law could …

This was definitely the highlight last night on CNN. The Washington Post sets up the clip below: On the night of a primary, CNN is known for its comprehensive coverage of who won what, flashy graphics, stalling for time and open speculation about what the heck will happen next. Moments of passionate exchange are, perhaps, less common. Yet during CNN’s …

Ted Cruz picked up a third win in the wee hours, taking the GOP caucus in Alaska. Like Marco Rubio did last night, Cruz says that he’s in the race for the long haul. The next Republican debate is tomorrow night in Detroit.

With a razor-thin 51-49 margin at this writing, Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner of the Massachusetts primary, her seventh and final win tonight. Bernie Sanders finished Super Tuesday with four wins: Vermont, Colorado, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. The final delegates count for today won’t be known until all races are fully counted.

Marco Rubio won’t be going home empty-handed tonight after all, having been projected to win the Minnesota caucus. Earlier tonight he appeared on CNN where he told a highly skeptical Jake Tapper that he intends to continue his race to the convention. Also winning Minnesota is Bernie Sanders, his third win tonight after Vermont and Oklahoma.

Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz are projected to win the Oklahoma primary, giving both their second win tonight. The Oklahoma result is the first so far to defy at least some of the polling, although it was predicted to be closer there than in most states.

Ted Cruz won his home state of Texas, which will likely be his only win tonight. Also winning Texas, as predicted, is Hillary Clinton, who has now won six of seven races called so far. We’re more than halfway through Super Tuesday and the pollsters have been dead-on.

So far there have been no surprises, no upsets. Rubio did put up respectable numbers in Virginia, but its looking like he’ll go home empty-handed tonight. Not so, perhaps, for Ted Cruz, who holds a comfortable lead in Texas at this writing. Former Arkansas First Lady Hillary Clinton coasted to an easy win in her former home state, as expected.

The networks are calling Alabama and Tennessee for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, bringing both their projected win totals to four and three states, respectively. Keep an eye on Oklahoma where Clinton is currently trailing Sanders.  UPDATE: Trump has added Massachusetts to his win column.

Almost immediately after the polls there closed, CNN called the states of Georgia and Virgina for Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders is projected to win his home state of Vermont. No surprises so far. Donald Trump currently has a 3-point lead over Marco Rubio in Virginia. UPDATE: CNN has called Georgia for Trump.

From the Philly Voice: Judge Roxanne Covington will hear a resentencing motion next week for Kathryn Knott, the Bucks County woman convicted of simple assault and related charges in the 2014 beating of a gay couple in Center City.

He took the veto down to the literal last hour before it would become law. Dominic Holden reports at Buzzfeed: South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard heeded to pressure from LGBT advocates and businesses on Tuesday, announcing he vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender students from using school restrooms that correspond with their gender identity.
