FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

We’re headed into a week of “super-sized” events. First up on Sunday is the Super Bowl, where the undefeated New England Patriots go head-to-head with the New York Giants. And two days later, it’s Super Tuesday. Voters in more than 20 states will go to the polls, perhaps finalizing their party’s presidential nominees.

So which event are Americans more pumped up about? Turns out, it’s almost a toss-up. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows 40% of those surveyed say they’re more excited for the big football game, while 37% say they’re more worked up about the Super Tuesday primaries.

The poll also found those who are more psyched for the Super Bowl include: football fans – no surprise there, those who haven’t gone beyond high school, men and Independents.

As far as people who are more excited about Super Tuesday, that would include: non-football fans, college graduates, women and Democrats. When it comes to Republicans, they divide about evenly between the two events.

Here’s my question to you: Are you more excited for the Super Bowl or Super Tuesday, and why?

Interested to know which ones made it on air?

Michelle writes:
Super Tuesday, because one is a game that will not matter as soon as it is over and the other is a game that we will have to play out for four years, at least.

J.R. from Olympia, Washington writes:
Oh Jack, it’s so sad. I switched my usual day off from Monday to Wednesday, planning for a late Tuesday and TV and blog-filled Wednesday. A gal at work asked me who I was rooting for and I automatically said, “Obama.” Of course she meant Patriots or Giants.

Dennis writes:
Ask this same question on ESPN. A battle over the future or a battle over who can get to the end of the field? Pathetic that this question could ever even exist. However it does prove just how out of whack our priorities are. Besides, the NHL is way better.

Diane from Barnevald, New York writes:
Silly question. The Super Bowl is more exciting with more intelligent people participating. At least in this contest, there will be winners. Super Tuesday has nothing but losers.

Robb from New Jersey writes:
What’s the spread on Super Tuesday? I’m sticking with Obama and taking the points! At least there is enough interest this election season to mention these two events in the same sentence. Maybe, just maybe the American population is finally going to get involved in a political process that actually affects their lives…. Whatever you do, watch the game Sunday but before you go to work on Tuesday, Vote.

Ed writes:
Jack, Although I am a political junky, I still have to go with the Super Bowl. The commercials are better.

Matthew writes:
Once the Super Bowl is over, it’s over. Super Tuesday is part of something larger than any of us. Finding a worthy leader of this great nation is imperative, especially considering what we’ve had for the last 7 years.

Brian from Maryland writes:
Super Tuesday. How many Americans remember who won the Super Bowl in 2000?

W B in Las Vegas   February 1st, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Super Bowl 4 SURE

I live in Las Vegas and have a wager on the Giants +12 1/2. looks like a one touchdown game either way to me.

Kevin   February 1st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I’m a french student and I have to say that I’m more excited for Super Tuesday because it is more important than a sport game.

W B in Las Vegas   February 1st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

AND there is NO LINE on Clinton vs Obama or McCain vs Romney

j hawk   February 1st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Jack,I do love football however,I am more excited about super Tuesday… We as Americans should all be excited about having a voice in who we elect…It is and should be a number one issue with all of us..We know we are getting someone
new to run this country and I just hope they can fix what Bush has destroyed in the past seven years.Now to the super bowl….It’s time for a change.New England has been in the big show to much (like Bush)……GO GIANTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff B   February 1st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Jack, after a long season and weeks of hype, I’m looking forward to sitting back and watching the all-day coverage and analysis and predictions leading up to the big event, and seeing who comes out on top in what’s sure to be a very close contest that Americans everywhere will be watching closely. The Super Bowl should be pretty fun to watch, too.

Jeff B
East Lansing, MI

Aaron from Kentucky   February 1st, 2008 2:06 pm ET

I would be more excited about Super Tuesday if the actions of the mainstream media weren’t so predictable. I cant turn on my television and watch any news network today with out hearing Obama, Clinton, Mccain, or Romney. This is incredible, are there any more canidates in the race? The are all the same.

Albert   February 1st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Super Tuesday. Last time I heard, neither Tom Brady nor Eli Manning could send American troops to war or bankrupt the country.

Scott B   February 1st, 2008 2:16 pm ET

As a football fan I have to say actually super Tuesday - This election is more important to America than any football game will ever be - I’m still trying to make my choice and the more I see and here the closer I get to making a decison

Ken KS   February 1st, 2008 2:17 pm ET

After the Super Bowl, who’s going to care except Boston or New York. Super Tuesday will have a greater impact on the desperate state of our economy and our country as a whole. The Super Bowl will provide an escape from the rambling of these politicians, though.

Dave Brooklyn, NY   February 1st, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Neither. I can’t get excited about a bunch of human chemistry experiments running back and forth on a field chasing a funny looking ball around, nor can I get excited about a choice of candidates that has been crammed down my throat. I have no one to vote for; the media decided who will get nominated. I have little say in the matter, so I’ll just curl up with a good DVD and hope the next puppet doesn’t sell us down the river as quickly and thoroughly as the current idiot.

Elizabeth   February 1st, 2008 2:23 pm ET

I watch the super-bowl for the commercials I watch the super tuesday results for our countries future. Both of which could be purchased by big corporations.

joe m   February 1st, 2008 2:25 pm ET

super bowl. the hits are real. the emotions are sincere. and when tears appear, they are genuine.

David,San Bernardino,CA.   February 1st, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Neither excite me because they are both anti-climatic. The Patriots are cheaters and the all the candidates are corporate sellouts. They are all as exciting as watching paint dry.

Michael "C" in Lorton   February 1st, 2008 2:38 pm ET

I would venture to say, the Super Bowl. When the winner emerges, they are going to ask someone on the winning team, “now that you have won the super bowl, what are your plans? Answer, I’m going to DisneyWorld. When the winner emerges on Super Tuesday, and they are asked the same question and the answer will be DAH! DAH!

Mike McKibben, Fl   February 1st, 2008 2:41 pm ET

Super Tuesday wins hand down for me. The Super Bowl will come and pass, and the results will not effect my life at all. As for Super Tuesday, the results will effect me for the next 4 years. People / voters need to take Super Tuesday very seriously.

ben   February 1st, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Super Tuesday is more exciting, hopefully there will be no wardrobe malfunction during the halftime show.

Ben
Louisville

Ralph from New York   February 1st, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Jack, I am more excited about the Super Bowl because I cannot wait for their commercials.

chris from california   February 1st, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Super Tuesday - could care less about the cheaters and obnoxious east coast fans.

Bill Quarryville, PA   February 1st, 2008 2:55 pm ET

I am excited about the Super Bowl because there is a team that cane go undefeated. But I am more concerned about next Tuesday because what happens could determine whether I will have a TV, and a house to watch future super bowls on and in.

Tina   February 1st, 2008 2:55 pm ET

They both bore the pants right off of me. The only good thing about the football is the ads and some times they suck too.

George   February 1st, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Jack for the first time in my life I am more excited for a political race than I am the superbowl. The American people know that America needs to change and a new path must be paved. The excitment is will America actually vote for change (Obama and Romney) or chicken out and vote for the status quo (Clinton and McCain)

Scott   February 1st, 2008 2:58 pm ET

jack, some of your questions, super Tuesday is the only answer, that’s the game we get to participate in, and it will be historical.
makes you all warm and fuzzy inside, dont it jack.

bowling green, mo.

Brett Milam   February 1st, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Super Tuesday Jack. A country is on the line as opposed to a team.

-Brett
Ohio

David, Tampa   February 1st, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Jack, I am excited about neither. I dont watch football and have become so disgusted with both the Democratic and Republican controled government that I may burn my voter registration card in protest. I served during the Vietnam conflict and have been registered as No Party Affiliation for about 25-30 years. The more I hear from the left and right wing nuts the more I am convinced there isn’t a functioning neuron in the bunch.

Paulette Bent   February 1st, 2008 3:06 pm ET

I’m enthusiastic about each one. Super Sunday is for fun for me and Super Tuesday is for changing the course of our country. The same rule of thumb applies to both the teams and politicians. Each will have to put out 100% of themselves everyday leading up to their event - because the opponent will be doing so,and if they don’t,when they meet - their opponent will win!

John from CT   February 1st, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Super Tuesday for sure. But remember its the Super Bowl winner that determines the fate of the stock market .

Brenda   February 1st, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Hi Jack

Coming from the Boston area the main focus of attention is on the Patriots/Tom
Brady and Super Bowl Sunday. Will the Patriots and/or Tom Brady fix things
in Washington? I don’t think so. So let the important game take place on
SUPER TUESDAY. May the best person (not team) win.

Charles Liken   February 1st, 2008 3:12 pm ET

The Super Bowl without a doubt. Now that Edwards is out of the race for the White House there is hardly any difference between the four turkeys that are left. Each one can be bought by special interests. Go Brady!

Jerry   February 1st, 2008 3:20 pm ET

The super bowl, at least we will have a clear cut winner, hopefully without any cheating. Action by the players will determine the winner, whereas the winner of super Tuesday will be determined by who is best at telling a lie, because they can’t or won’t do one damn thing they say.

Greg from PA   February 1st, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I’ll be giving my remote control a real workout, Jack. That is until New England opens up a wide lead, which it will. Or until clear front runners are chosen in the primaries, which there will be. Then I’ll pop in “300 Spartans,” which will look pretty tame in comparison.

Paul   February 1st, 2008 3:23 pm ET

I’m more excited about the Super Bowl because that is the pinnacle of the NFL season and Super Tuesday compares better with the second round of the playoffs. Still good stuff but there are more games to be played until the presidential election. Plus I never done did go to no colije.

Jeri   February 1st, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Neither, I’m waiting for NASCAR! I’m sick of political coverage! After the election, the poor will still be poor, the rich will get richer and this country will continue to self-destruct. Super Bowl is already won by the steroids.

Daytona, now that’s entertainment.

Greg from PA   February 1st, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Hmmm. Blood and guts. Maybe I’ll just watch “300 Spartans” instead.

Brian in Md.   February 1st, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Super Tuesday. How many Americans remember who won the Super Bowl in 2000?

Vinnie Vino   February 1st, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Jack,

It’s a guy thing I pick the Super Bowl, go G-Men…

Ed Reed   February 1st, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Jack, why should I get excited about a contest between two organizations, both owned and controlled by large corporations, spending vast sums of money for the sole purpose of winning? I’m not excited about the Superbowl either.

Hagar the Horrible   February 1st, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Definately the Superboal, Tastes great, less filling. Go Patriots!!!

Hagar the Horrible   February 1st, 2008 3:39 pm ET

The Superbowl, but Hillary is already claiming SHE won!!

TLC   February 1st, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Both of these sporting events will be watched by the world. The Pats vs. the Giants and the Elephants vs the Donkeys. We will be watching both but with more interest on Super Duper Tuesday because there is more at stake for us and especially since my wifes team, the Vikings are not in it again this year.

TLC from Texas

David from Oregon   February 1st, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Jack, I’m more excited about the Super Bowl because afterwards we will all know the better team won the game and went home with the trophy. This in sharp contrast to Super Tuesday which, regardless of who comes out ahead, will not convince me in any way that they are the better candidate.

Daniel From Tempe AZ   February 1st, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Jack,

The Super Bowl, it is pumping a bunch of money into the economy here in Arizona.

Joanne Johnson   February 1st, 2008 3:54 pm ET

I cannot lie, if my Colts would have made it to the Super Bowl, clearly that would have topped my list. So now I turn my sights to Super Tuesday. It looks like my favorite Republican just might lock up the nomination. However, I think the Democrats are probably going to disappoint me yet again.

Rex in Portland   February 1st, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Jack, the Democrats can’t go wrong with their choice and the Republicans can’t go right. So it looks like Super Bowl by a landslide. Too freakin’ bad!

Jim   February 1st, 2008 4:01 pm ET

I am much more excited about Super Tuesday. This is the date on which the survival of America and her Constitution will very likely be determined. Over the past seven years, both have been kicked, tossed into the air, cursed, had their luster tarnished and are now close to being carried into their End Zone! This will be a really grown-up contest of massive importance. It will not be some event played by little boys who have never grown up!

Jim

Ron SD CA   February 1st, 2008 4:04 pm ET

Oh Come on Jack, this isn’t a fare question.

The Super Bowl of course. GIANTS Rule..

Then on Super Tuesday. It’s “RAH, RAH SIS BOOM BA” for Hiliary Clinton. Two Big Events in one weeK.

Ron - CA

Donna   February 1st, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Super Tues will have effect on everyone for a long time. It has to be the top priority. Then I don’t like football at all. It is overrated and been shoved down our throats and people have been brain washed that it is the game is so important by the TV stations .

Dennis   February 1st, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Ask this same question on ESPN.

A battle over the future or a battle over who can get to the end of the field? Pathetic that this question could ever even exist. However it does prove just how out of whack our priorities are. besides the NHL is way better

Bill   February 1st, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Both events are very dramatic, featuring plenty of struggle, victory, and defeat. However, I am more excited by Super Tuesday as the Super Bowl will not affect the future of our country or my own quality of life. Oh, one more thing: GO GIANTS!!!

Bill of Hewlett, NY

Jen   February 1st, 2008 4:17 pm ET

No contest. The super bowl. Because the good (Giants) and evil (Pats) is clear.

Here’s to the Giants kicking butt!

Carolynn from Sarasota   February 1st, 2008 4:17 pm ET

The Super Bowl is this Sunday? I’ve been so distracted by candidates bowing out and random endorsements by every semi-significant government figure in the country that I don’t even know who is playing on Sunday. Super Tuesday is way more exciting and definitely less predictable.

Karen   February 1st, 2008 4:19 pm ET

There’s no reason to pick, they’re on separate days. I’ll take both, thank you very much.

Art Callesoe   February 1st, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Jack,
Which is more important? A one day spectacle or choosing the leader of the free world for the next four years? Come on Jack, only a moron would say the Super Bowl is more important.

Tom   February 1st, 2008 4:23 pm ET

The Super Bowl, because when the game is finished nothing will change afterwards. After Super Tuesday there will be another audible, then another, then another, always redefining and clarifying what they said 10 minutes ago or explaining to us what they really meant. Meanwhile, back at the football game the score will not have changed. Some consistency would be nice in politics…it would also be a change.

Elena   February 1st, 2008 4:24 pm ET

It’s a frigging game vs our lives, our country, our freedom? I guess since you have to ask the question it may already be too late.

Margaret Choffel   February 1st, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Super Bowl? Usually a super bore! With the poor economy the commercials are not even as interesting because I cannot afford to buy anything anyway…

But perhaps the first female president verses perhaps the first president of color? Something that hasn’t happened before in all our history? Now that is exciting!

Guy from CA   February 1st, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I’ll watch the the Super Bowl, the Super Tuesday results and then a rerun of the old soap opera “Dynasty.” Same theme to all three.

Fran Omaha, Ne   February 1st, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I don’t plan on watching either. They do nothing for me. Watching a bunch of over paid athletes run around and smack the hell out of each other or a group or Morons trying to get elected who are part of the reason the Country is in such a screwed up mess in the first place is neither exciting or worth while. I will be out mending fence and moving hay to try and feed a few thousand people that will be watching both of them.

lee   February 1st, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Super Tuesday! CNN is on my lap top browser, my favorites on my remote, haven’t miss a debate from either party! Am addicted to this year in politic,I breath it…it is maddening I can’t get enough. My dog had gained weight…because we don’t walk as much.

Richard Sternagel   February 1st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I am more excited for the Super Bowl as I believe Super Tuesday or not the candidates for both parties will be decided by their respective conventions!

Beth from Michigan   February 1st, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Well, I’m not excited about either. To me, getting the Superbowl over with means that 60 minuts will now start on time. And I can’t vote in Super Tuesday since I live in Michigan (bummer). And, yes, I know we had our primary, but the democrats were largely in absentia.

suzie from Atlanta, GA   February 1st, 2008 4:39 pm ET

I don’t follow contact sports, I just can’t remember all the rules, and really don’t care. I am more concerned about the injury issue than the game. To me it’s like Bull Fighting. My sons refuse to watch a game with me, because I ask too many questions, and it bothers them. My husband goes to the basement where he can be alone to get away from my “commentary”, as well.
I am a Political Junkie, and I am TOTALLY pumped for Super Tuesday.
This is the BIG game, and I have my team Hillary shirt and am ready to roll out.

Karen   February 1st, 2008 4:40 pm ET

The Super Bowl is fun for only a moment. Super Tuesday is many moments that lead to a hopeful, positive future. I wish Americans were as dedicated to voting and getting involved in our government as they are with athletic and movie star idols. Watch the game, but VOTE!

Damon-Maryland   February 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Super Tuesday for sure. The fact that this is even a question shows the terrible state our country is in .

daniel conti   February 1st, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Jack, thats easy I vote for the GIANTS GAME AND WILL TAKE OBAMA AND 12 points Daniel , CT

James V   February 1st, 2008 4:47 pm ET

I’d say the fact that you have to ask a question like this says a lot about how sad the current voter base is. Wake up America.

Flash   February 1st, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Well, the thing I currently most interesed in is attending the American Ballet. The tickets are less expensive than the Super Bowl, they perform about the same time, have the about the same number of players, but they are a whole lot better to look at. After that, I’ll hoot and holler for the Patriots.

I’m already tired of the Super Tuesday hype on every news channel and am not interested in hearing about it constantly for the next week or two.

Glenn   February 1st, 2008 4:49 pm ET

This week I’m excited about the Super Bowl. The primary I care about comes next Tuesday when I actually get to vote in the Virginia primary. Until recently I assumed the contest would be over by then. Now it looks like my vote just might count for something.

Carlos C.   February 1st, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I’m just as excited for both!

The Superbowl is just going to be a metaphor for whats coming on Tuesday, you know, the start of the true battle of “The Patriots” against “The Giants (that are Corparate America)”. Let’s just hope that come this November it’s a shutout!

Jim Bloom   February 1st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

While I will not have the Nachos and Guac, Super Tuesday has my attention. The game will be great, but it is played every year. This presidential contest has been unpredictable and historic. Also, I really want to see you guys miss on some polls and predictions again.

Ed Chapman   February 1st, 2008 4:58 pm ET

When you come right down to it, neither one has any impact on me whatsoever!!! The Super Bowl when compared to the soldiers in Iraq who are being shot at everyday, many Americans who cannot afford healthcare and young children being treated for cancer at St. Judes Childrens Hospital, is really insignificant! Super Tuesday where candidates on both sides of the aisle are vying for votes, and making promises to Americans that they know they cannot possibly keep, is another activity that is really totally pointless!!!!! Unfortunately the things that really matter like some of those mentioned above are put on the back burner because of the Super Bowl and Super Tuesday!!!!!!! Neither the Super Bowl, or Super Tuesday will be on my TV!!!!!!!!

Ed from Woodbridge,Va.

john, miami   February 1st, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Jack:

I don’t understand the question. I thought the Superbowl was on Tuesday.

Jenny from New York   February 1st, 2008 5:00 pm ET

My sister’s birthday is Feb. 5th and I told her I can’t see her because I have to stay home and watch politics all day. Super Tuesday

Suzanne   February 1st, 2008 5:05 pm ET

The Super Bowl. At least there the players will understand the rules of the game established by this nation, will know how to catch the ball and run with it, and most important the football players will listen to the shouts and screams of the people.

Cathy Norem   February 1st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

I’m now more excited about the Super Bowl due to the fact that my choice, John Edwards has withdrawn, I’m still interested, but some of the lustre is gone.

Kurt Gripenstraw   February 1st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

The “super” attention should be given to the race for the next president of the United States. Our country and planet is in peril. The game is an escape from that. Besides, who cares about a game tainted by convicted cheaters who are now the subject of a Congrssional investigation.

Kurt in Crescent City, California

Sarah Jane   February 1st, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Jack, I am a non-football fan, college educated woman and a Democrat. Guess that means I’m getting ready for Super Tuesday. (and voting for Barack Obama!)
Sarah Jane
Washington

Mark   February 1st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

There is no reason I can’t be excited for both. Both days are going to involve people with big salaries beating eachother up, whats not to love?

Allen of Hartwell GA   February 1st, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Even though Tom Brady is my 1st cousin 49-times removed and has made a Patriot fan of me, I have to be more excited about Super Tuesday. We could get another NFL champion next year, but unless something tragic happened the president will not have to face another challenger for another four years.

David A. Morse, Stoneham, MA   February 1st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Jack:

Since I’m NOT a sports fan, But I am a political junkie, Its Super Tuesday that is MORE important. Politics is the last true “Blood Sport!”

Tony Sewell, Anchorage, AK   February 1st, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Jack,

I am definitely more excited about Super Tuesday than the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl in an annual event with too much hype surrounding it, however I’m 27 and Super Tuesday is a monumental and historic event that has never occured in my lifetime. I am a proud American voter who will participate in my second U.S. presidential election and am anticipating a very exciting contest on Super Tuesday. Thanks.

Paul   February 1st, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Jack,

I will answer your question with another question: Which is a more important part of American history? Watching cheaters go undeafeted or seeing who will be the next president? Will the Democrats nominate the first prospective woman president? Will America unite behind the first African American with a legit shot at becoming president? The history being made Tuesday night is much more significant and will be talked about and written about much more than the undefeated season with an asterisk.

Karen G   February 1st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Jack,

I guess I’ll go with the Giants on Super Bowl Sunday. As far as I can tell, they’re the only ones in the bunch that haven’t lied, accused, attacked, or cheated to attain their goals.

alice   February 1st, 2008 5:29 pm ET

When the votes are counted for this question, the superbowl will win. Super Tuesday is only a blip on the screen to most americans, don’t we usually get about 30% turnout for the presidential elections?

Elizabeth   February 1st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

SUPER TUESDAY!!! Who cares about football??? Ok, so the majority of men in this country do…What is that compared to voting in the first Democratic Primary where no white men have a chance in hell to win?

Dominic   February 1st, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Jack, I’m extremely excited about Super Tuesday, everybody knows the Patriots are gonna win! That’s right you heard it here first, Pats 34, Giants (cough) 17!!

Obama/Clinton (Clinton/Obama) ticket= guaranteed victory in November!!!

-Dom

Peter   February 1st, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Jack this is a no brainier for me. SUPER BOWL!!!! I only watch the unique American sport of ‘American Football’, no other sport. I have even written my Congressman a few times to have Super Bowl Monday a national holiday.

john   February 1st, 2008 5:54 pm ET

The Super Bowl, but the politicians are screwing around with that too. As Super Bowl Sunday approaches Senator Arlene Spector is inquiring about the Patriots “spying incident films” from earlier in the season against Jeffrey Lurie’s Philadelphia Eagles. The irony is he hasn’t had a thing to say or do about Attorney General Mike Mukasey’s failure to pursue Verizon Chairman Ivan Seidenberg for releasing private information about the calls of millions of Americans to Bush for his illegal terrorist surveillance program. I know why.

Hannah   February 1st, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Super Tuesday Jack! Because politics affects our future as a nation. The Super Bowl is simply something people watch to NOT think about what is going on in the world. After the debate last night people have become extremely pumped, and I think people are becoming more and more engaged in our countries future. Obama ‘08!

Allen   February 1st, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Even though Tom Brady is my 1st cousin 20 times removed and made a Pats fan out of me, I have to say Super Tuesday gets me more excited. Next year at this time we will be getting ready for another Super Bowl, but the elections this year will stay with us for four years.

michell   February 1st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Super tuesday, because one is a game that will not matter as soon as it is over & the other is a game that we will have to play out for four years, at least. And could I say that your polls are telling us just one more reason woman should run things.

Jim   February 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Jack,
I’m from Michigan.
We root for the Lions when it comes to football.
We’re a Democratic state and no real Democrat showed for the January election.
The best I hope for is there are some memorable commercials during the Super bowl in regard to Headaches and Burning anal itch, because come November 2008 this nation will need both items for the next four years no matter who gets into the Whitehouse

Robb, NJ   February 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

What’s the spread on Super Tuesday? I’m sticking with Obama and taking the points! At least there is enough interest this election season to mention these two events in the same sentence. Maybe, just maybe the American population is finally going to get involved in a political process that actually affects their lives. Super Sunday is just a game and we all have to go back to work on Monday. Super Tuesday is not just a right but a duty that we as citizens are bound to. Whatever you do, watch the game Sunday but before you go to work on Tuesday-VOTE!

Jordan   February 1st, 2008 6:10 pm ET

I love football, but Super Tuesday is way more important.

Rachel   February 1st, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Most definitely SUPER Tuesday!

Terry - Castle Rock, CO   February 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Neither one Jack. I’m more interested in soup or salad.

adrian   February 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

I’ll be watching the game as oppose to the political fumbling already going on ad naseum
Toronto, Canada

earl illingsworth   February 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Jack, I’m more excited about Super Tuesday, why? The direction, this country goes in the next four years, is more interesting than watching the pre-ordained outcome, of a STUPID football game! Yes Jack, the referee’s,like the supreme court seem to know what’s best for us,and the outcome the’ve chosen, (all matters considered) is for the good of us all. Oh, by the way,” It’s Getting Ugly Out There”, is great reading.

Rob Mark   February 1st, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Super Sunday or Super Tuesday?

Something’s happening on Sunday?

Chris   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Much more interested in Super Tuesday than a bunch of guys in tights rolling around with each other. Then again, the commercials do make it tolerable.

Barb   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

John’s out-Go Giants!

Val   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

SUPER TUESDAY. Its a bit less predictable than the Super Bowl! I”ll be eating quacamole watching the returns!

Andrew   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

There’s no comparison. Super Tuesday is an historic event this year. Imagine, for the first time ever, the Democratic candidate will be either a woman or an African-American. For the US to be able to do this, things are really changing. Tuesday’s results will be a good indication, I think, of which of the two is the greatest draw. I can’t wait.

On the Republican side, I don’t like any of them, so I really don’t care. I think McCain is a war monger and Romney has no brains.

Harry Hayfield   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

I am resident in the United Kingdom and although the Superbowl and Super Tuesday will both be happening very late at night here, I shall be recording both of them and watching them the following day. Therefore my answer is “Interested in them both equally”. I will also be watching the Groundhog Day ceremony tomorrow as well (as the beginning of the week that defines America)

Josh Allen   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Super Tuesday absolutely. The super bowl will be exciting for a few hours, while super Tuesday may well decide who is our president for the next four years. That is more important to me than the super bowl, even though i will probably tune into both.

Bonb C   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

I’m on a Superbowl board, not a politics board.

Howard Goldman   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

I’m more excited for the Super Bowl because I will be in Las Vegas eating and sleeping for free. As far as Super Tuesday goes, if I had a Cafferty/Dobbs ticket to vote for I’d be thrilled.

Ed   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Jack,

Although I am a political junky, I still have to go with the Superbowl. The commercials are better.

Rob Mark   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Forgot the town … Evanston, IL

Dianne from Michigan   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Super Tuesday. They are both games, I suppose, but Super Tuesday is a little bit more real.

Sid   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Jack, why do I have to choose between soup or Tuesday? I like soup every day.

Alex   February 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

At the least the Super Bowl will have a winner on Sunday.
Super Tuesday is just another day that will leave us without a clear democratic candidate.

suzi   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Just saw the report on CNN…I think you need to add another category….Super Bowl vs Super Tuesday vs Super Bowl Commercials!!! I am looking forward to the commercials more.

Isaiah   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Jack, super bowl or super tuesday who cares? after all the Dems and Reps will be watching as well, so why worry about a one night stand game or a one night stand voting, just make sure there will be no election during the half time

Michael-California   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Super Tuesday has my full attention. I don’t even know who’s playing at the Super Bowl.

David Wise   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

The fate of our country vastly outweighs my interest than a game, not to say that the people exited about the super bowl are idiots, they are just are not as attuned to the political pulse that is currently enveloping our nation.

Daniel Hayes   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

As much as I love football, the one thing I would love more is to see Obama beat Clinton. I dont think our country or even the world can handle four to eight more years of a Clinton. Super Tuesday!

Victoria   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Super Tuesday, of course. That’s when I watch Ron Paul win

John D.   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Let’s see - the future of America vs. a football game. I’m a football fan, but this question really captures the essence of “no-brainer”.

Marian   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Jack,

Ask me Monday morning when it’s a no-brainer…

Eric Lucier   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

The Super Bowl…because you know what your getting. The only genuine thing about the race at this point seems to be Obama. Also, I don’t see many people getting out wings and beer to watch the returns come in on Tuesday.

Rae   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I’m not excited about either because football’s just as crooked as politics. But I’ll watch football like every other sucker and I’ll vote, still hoping that my vote counts but all the while, wondering if this too, is corrupt.

Kevin Sitts   February 1st, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I am ready for both to be honest. I am curious to see who will win on Sunday. But I am just as interested to see how well Hillary Clinton is going to do on Super Tuesday. I think it is going to be an interesting couple of days

George from South El Monte   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I personally would choose Super Tuesday, but those in a position to know seem to feel otherwise. Why else would Senator Arlen Specter feel that holding hearings on the New England Patriots’ destruction of evidence warrants congressional hearings while the CIA’s destruction of evidence does not? It just goes to show what the public not only knows but, more importantly. what we ought to know….

Betty   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Super Tuesday, of course You can always watch the football reruns.
We are living in the biggest uncertainty these days, Being told by our government, we have to be afraid of all these “bad ” people, it seems to me we have to get all of the “bad” people out of government office pronto. So we must listen to the candidates and try to figure out which of them will become the “bad” people.

Willis A. Dye   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

The outcome of the Super Bowl does not affect me. But if double talk McCain is the (R) candidate, I may have to vote for a Democrat (I hope it’s Obama). McCain says the people want the borders secured “first”. Read between the lines. Secure the borders and then amnesty is what he’s saying. He voted against the tax cuts, enough said.

David M.   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I would have to say Super Tuesday is more important, quite frankly because the upcoming election is a far more vital and important of our lives, moreso than who wins a silly sports game. Don’t get me wrong, I love football, but when its a choice between your future or who gets bragging rights for winning a game that involves throwing a ball better than another team, its almost insane people could choose other than an event regarding an upcoming national election. Its not like a Superbowl that comes around every year

Dave   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

While I am a huge football fan and very excited about the Super Bowl, I have to admit that I am more excited about Super Tuesday. I am one of many Americans who were just totally disgusted by the politics (and politicians) in this country until Barack Obama came onto the scene. He has gotten me actually excited about politics once again and optimistic about the future of this country. If it weren’t for him, I would be kicked back in my recliner watching the Super Bowl and tuning out Super Tuesday altogether.

LaRon Cooke   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

well lets see… im sick of the patriots in the superbowl so as much as i love foot ball its not like something ive havent seen. Super Tuesday yes. Super blowout NO!!

Scott Hobbs   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

As a lifelong Giants fan, I must admit that I am more excited about the Super Bowl than Super Tuesday. That being said, neither of these days compare with the excitement I feel about January 20, 2009 when the disgraceful and embarrassing Bush administration will finally be replaced.

Anna   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Both!!!! Historic Moments on Both Homefronts! A chance to see a NFL dynasty and a chance to make America better.

Jonathan Emerson-Pierce   February 1st, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Super Tuesday, of course, I absolutely love football. But I’m now far more concerned about the country’s future than any football game–especially now. So, when Super Tuesday comes, I looking for a big win for all Americans, and not just for those who live in New England or New York.

Miguel   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

I am excited for Super Tuesday,

I want the more experienced person to win. And when that person has a problem I know there would be somebody there to give the second opinion, and you know who that person is.

Scott Hobbs   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

As a lifelong Giants fan, I must admit that I am more excited about the Super Bowl than Super Tuesday. That being said, neither of these days compare with the excitement I feel about January 20, 2009 when the disgraceful and embarrassing Bush administration will finally be replaced.
GO GIANTS!!!

Mike M from SD   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

I am a football fan but I have to admit that this election is too important not to pay attention to. This will be the most important election in my lifetime. That is why I haven’t really thought about the game this week.

June   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Well Jack, I’m a female, Democrat with a capital D, a college graduate. This is the most exciting political race since I was a teenager and watched mesmerized, as JFK spoke to the nation about his vision for America. And, no, I’m not an Obama supporter, although I’ll happily vote for him if he gets the nod. I believe Hillary will make the best President to deal with the known problems inherited from the Bush administration, but even more, the problems NO ONE has even a clue about, but will inevitably come to light. I would love to see a Hillary/Obama ticket. After 8 years with this dynamic woman, I believe Obama will finally be initiated into the difficult world of the leader of the free world and will be very ready to carry on in his own right. Hillary is a realist and Obama, an idealist…….wouldn’t you say a realist is needed to dig through the mess of the Bush administration so she can pave the way for the idealist to carry the country forward? This is a very sweet time in politics for any Democrat!

Jeff M.   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

What’s super Tuesday?

Edgar   February 1st, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Why should I care about the Super Bowl? I am a Dallas Cowboys fan down here in Texas. Nobody in the South cares about a game between two northeastern teams.

Give me Super Tuesday anytime. Seems like the contest between Obama nad Clinton will be closer than the Super Bowl outcome.

John Soderlund   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I have been a huge football fan for 30 some years. I have been waiting for Hillary Clinton to run for President for nearly 8 years. Now the day has come, I am more excited for Super Tuesday. Now, if the Vikings were in the Superbowl things would be different. No offense Hillary. But, it has been almost over 30 years the Viking have been there.

marquette leach   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I am far more excited about Super Tuesday than the Super Bowl, albeit both are important for various reasons. Super Tuesday will become one of the most important and historical days in our nation’s history. We, as Americans, find ourselves and our our country in a fragile position and are compelled to become involved in our Democratic process to bring healing and restoration to our nation if we are to remain!

Mike   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Jack,

I’m split. I’ll watch the big game on Sunday, to see what an interception looks like, and then I’ll watch Super Tuesday to see Barack Obama run the ball in for the wining score.

I feel a change in the air Jack, don’t you??

Mike/Ontario, Ca

Mike Paskash   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Being a huge football fan, I would normally say the Super Bowl. But since I hate the Patriots so much, I guess the next best thing is Super Tuesday. I can’t believe I’m saying this in public, I hope none of my friends are watching. Go Colts!!!!
Mike from Indiana

Jolly croger   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Both events are for the glorification of overly paid and overly egotigistical people, overly impressed with themselves. I do not give a hoot for either!

kristy mundt   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I looking forward to Super Tuesday. It is going to be fun to watch the Democrats divide even more that they are now. With the only candidate who could stop the Repulbicans out or the race. They are going to wake up the Republicans to vote against both Obama and Clinton. Again the Democtars will grab Defeat out of the jaws of victory.

al   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Jack , you must be kidding I am more excited about super tuesday since we are going to make history by having the first black in the white house ( may be the first woman) . sorry jack I coudn’t watch you yestrday I was with obama compaign in LA. CNN and wolf were shinning and awosme

AL

peter benton   February 1st, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Jack,

I can’t honestly say that I am too excited about either event.. No matter who gets nominated in either party, we can look forward to a vast improvement come November. I have noted that every candidate in either party can string more than three words together to make a complete sentence.

Whether Clinton Or Obama wins on Tuesday, it will be history in the making, and the Republican elections for all practical purposes are non events.

Stacy from Massachusetts   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Super Tuesday!!! Can’t wait!

Dianne from Michigan   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Super Tuesday. They are both games, I suppose, but Super Tuesday is a little bit more real. It is getting more entertaining and exciting as the weeks go on.

Diane   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Clearly Super Tuesday is much more exciting. The Super Bowl will determine the most skillful team after the football playoffs. Super Tuesday is the apex of the Presidential Playoffs. The winner to be determined by the Voters in Ballot Bowl aka Election Day 2008

Chris   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

I’m more excited about Super Tuesday. Living in Canada I like to pay attention to American politics since our countries are each others biggest trading partner.

As for a sport I’m excited about? March 14th, 15th, and 16th…Put those dates in your Calender. Formula 1 in Melbourne Australia!

Kimi Raikkonen with Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton with Mclaren and the rest of the 2007 dramatic F1 season flowing into 2008 is going to be fantastic!

Tell America to watch, Jim. Tell America to watch!

Thomas   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

All depends on what you want to watch and for how long. The Super Bowl lasts for a few hours; the Presidental race, a few years. Both have favorites. Both have underdogs. You know who should win, but you can’t be 100% sure until the clock runs down or the ballets are counted. You can place a bet on whoever you want based on the odds. The outcome should be inevitable, but you never know. All we need now is a femal quarterback and the stage is set.

Ryan   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

I really have to admit Jack, that my answer to this question isn’t the one I thought it would be when it first ran through my mind. I’ve been a life long sports fan, and growing up in Michigan I bleed Maize & Blue, and therefore I love Tom Brady and his Patriots as much as any Bostonian, but Barack Obama has inspired me in such a way that the result of Super Tuesday seems to mean so much more than any football game, even the Super Bowl. Yes I understand that the Patriots are the verge of doing something amazing by going undefeated, but I also know that Barack Obama is also on the verge of doing something very, very monumental in this nation. It is through his motivational words, and united appeal, that I feel this nation could make the type of progress that we have been denied for a very long time.

David M.   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

I would have to say Super Tuesday is more important, quite frankly because the upcoming election is a far more vital and important of our lives, moreso than who wins a silly sports game.

Its not like a Superbowl that comes around every year

Misty Ganguly, Hilliard, Ohio   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

For the right wing conservatives in the Republican party, it is an easy choice - “Super Bowl” by a long margin. What do they have for the “Super Tuesday”? A “conservative” who is now trying to get under the wings of a “liberal” Republican so that he may still have a shot for the Vice-president position. Another half-conservative business tycoon who has lost all his “business” brain and now spending millions on his own campaign for a losing cause. And a “pseudo conservative” who has always acted like a “liberal” democrat and lost before in the Presidential race but who would say anything now to look like a “true” convervative. “Super Bowl” and “Super Tuesday” - no comparison!!!

Cris F.,Austin, TX   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

I would have to say that I am equally excited about both the superbowl and “super” Tuesday.
I have to admit to disliking the Patriots, but they have the unique ability to make history this Sunday. Not only will they be ending the season undefeated, they will be the only team to have done that since the ‘72 Dolphins.
Super Tuesday pits a formidable political family against the vision of the future. . I heard Obama speak in Austin and it was there that I decided who would have my vote. I have always loved the Clintons and what they have done for our country, but it isn’t often that someone comes along that inspires you to action. I have watched coverage of every primary and caucus thus far and I’m biting my nails in anticipation for Tuesday.

Go Pats and Go Obama!

MichelleWright   February 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

The Super Bowl for sure! I need a break from the Ballot Bowl and time to recharge for Super Tuesday.

Roger in Woodland Hills, California   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Although the Super Bowl may have more excitement wrapped into one day, Super Tuesday is far more meaningful. Unlike the one-day pigskin event, Super Tuesday has ramifications far beyond that one single day. The nation has a lot at stake: healthcare of its citizens, the economy affecting all, our national infrastructure, the make-up of the Supreme Court, and the US regaining a place of leadership and respect in the world. Although I will enjoy watching the Super Bowl, after the last touchdown has been scored and the last nacho has been eaten, I think Super Tuesday will be far more important than a game.

Christine   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Super Tuesday - The real Super Bowl will be in LA Sunday with Oprah, Caroline Kennedy and Michelle Obama!

Nathan   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

I’m much more looking forward to Super Tuesday, because the Super Bowl happens every year and the country’s future does not dopend on the outcome of the Super Bowl.

Margaret   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Hi Jack,
I am a college graduate with a Master’s degree, and I’m more excited about the superbowl. First of all it comes on first and is prabably the only time I’ll ever get to witness a team go the distance if New England wins. Super Tuesday will be there on Tuesday and the Canidates will be there after that. So why not be excited about the game, when we’ll still have the time to listen to more campaigning and complaining from the Republicans and Democrates.

Margaret Andrews
Blacksburg, VA

Randy   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Super Tuesday.
Patriots has a far greater meaning than just a football team. It’s time to vote.

Miguel   February 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

The historical relevance of the two events can not be compared. The raminifications of Tuesday’s race will continue to impact our lives for months or may be years to come. The superbowl is fun for a couple of hours. So I am way more excited about Super Tuesday.

James Yee - Former US Army Captain   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

As a former US Army soldier deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom and dealing with PTSD, I more hyped about the Super Bowl. It’s better therapy, especially since I do not intend to hear anything about Iraq, the so-called “War on Terror,” or the politics of fear on Game Day. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy a big championship game.

Gary   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Good question ….even though this is one of the most historic seasons in football…..it will never compare to the history thats being made in politics …no matter who your for..

Evelina Fernandez   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I am more excited about Super Tuesday! Why? Because I know who’s playing. I have no idea who is playing at the Super Bowl. That’s football, right?

dawn   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I will vote on Super Tuesday. I am a white female age 50. I love football, but with NE playing and doubts about how truthful they have been or the commisioner has been (they have destroyed the tapes of the alledged cheating) I want to vote for a man who has shown integrity, honesty, hope, and the ability to bring Our Nation together. OBAMA 2008

Peter Holmes   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Super Tuesday’s the more interesting of the two - no football team ever won the Superbowl and went on to trash the planet.

Peter Holmes

jyl   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Jack, Super Tuesday. It Rocks!!!

Wayne   February 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I’m excited about the Super Bowl because, they are classy players and winners all!
As far as I can see, the presidential candidates are all losers, especially on the Democratic side. At the Super Bowl, we can pick a team winner, but for president, the country loses….unless you’re Latino. If you see Lou…tell him I’m an Independent!!

James Yee - Former US Army Captain   February 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

GIRI VUPPALA   February 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

I am sure the same 40% morons who think superbowl is more important than super tuesday are the ones who voted twice for Bush. We are all paying for it through Iraq and other misadventures of this administration.

Nate in Urbana, IL   February 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I love football, but comparing that to a contest which will determine whether or not our country keeps spiraling down into an aggressive, theocratic police state, or changes back to a true democracy respecting the civil liberties and beliefs of all people is almost as crazy as comparing Eli with his brother.

tyler   February 1st, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I’m a 19 year-old football fan and have been following the patriots all year. While the game is definitely on my agenda to watch, I have to say that super tuesday is more important to me. OBAMA is going to change our future and the PATS are going to make the record books. Both very exciting but OBAMA and super tuesday rule hands down.

JR in GA   February 1st, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Super Tuesday because I really like Obama and really dislike the Patriots. :-)

Phil Miami Florida   February 1st, 2008 6:27 pm ET

I will be watching the superbowl but waiting for super Tuesday.

super Tuesday is one the most important thing we can do as American.

when it come to our vote….. Peolpe Have Died for this right.

Eric   February 1st, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Jack, I think the Super Bowl will be a great match and exciting to watch. But after a few hours and a presentation at the end, it’s over. Super Tuesday will be fun and exciting and the decisions made will go towards selecting our new president. Who will be in office four years. Not just one glorious night, or the defending champ for the year to come. Choosing the person who will mold and shape, or shall I say re-shape, the country for the next four years should be at the top of everyones list. I can’t wait for Tuesday.

JOHN ADAM   February 1st, 2008 6:27 pm ET

jack, both events are very intersting -however if one team doesn,t win their 5th its not really going to have any effect on me even thou i know the players need the money , having said that i,m still going to watch , — both .. who are you and wolf picking for the super bowl

Sarah Almonte   February 1st, 2008 6:28 pm ET

You can’t even compare the two, Jack. The SuperBowl is a game. Whoever losses, still gets a chance next year. Super Tuesday will change so much in America, the impact will be everlasting and at a global level. The SuperBowl will not be remembered around the world… but the world will remember this Tuesday for the rest of their lives. It’s sad to see that people are more excited about a game than the opportunity to change our country for the better. That said, I am still rooting for the Giants to defeat that other “evil empire!”

Andrew G.   February 1st, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Super Tuesday or Super Bowl Sunday? I’m psyched and excited about both, luckily there is no choice between the two. My choice on Sunday is the Giants, my choice on Tuesday? After last night’s debate, its hard to say.

Jude   February 1st, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I am watching the Super Bowl to hopefully see the Patriots win and I wll be following the Primary on Tuesday to see Hillary win also. Both events are important for completely different reasons. Obviously the election is overall more important to our country, however a good game is great to watch. All in all they are both great competitions.

Dragon, El Monte   February 1st, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Jack, I just become more excited about Super Bowl after your last two debates. Your organization seems to lean toward Obama and was completely rude to Ron Paul. You band-wagoned with the inspiration instead of being a balanced media I have come to watch. Frankly, I now switch to Fox News. This CNN blog is the only blog I follow. “It’s getting worse out there…”, Jack.

Gary in Oregon   February 1st, 2008 6:29 pm ET

No Contest at all. Super Sunday. Patriots 19-0? Never been done before. Having spent my career working for the government, I have grown to hate politics, and until I learned that the Democratic ticket was now down to two people, Clinton and Obama, I have not watched, listened to, or read a single word on the presidential race. I’d rather sleep at night in my bed. Now, it’s time to listen. I still don’t know if there are any republicans besides McCain and Romney left in the race. It’s too early to care. Months of debates and hype left to the presidential race. Super Bowl is over in one day. Super Tuesday? Bah. It’s just another Tuesday.

Chip Arnold   February 1st, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Football, that’s the one with the pointy ends isn’t it? Not too excited about that but Super Tuesday? Now there’s an event that may well decide the future of America and the tone of world events for many years to come. Hint: The next president of the United States will be a male democrat.

Anthony Arrigali   February 1st, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I am a big Giant fan, and it is crucial they win on Sunday. Having said that Super Tuesday is more important. Get out and Vote for a Democrat. If MCain wins, that would be a disaster. He is too old and can barely move his arms.Besides that he has no idea what middle class famalies need to succeed in the future. And people still vote for him. I find that absolutely amazing ! Let’s get with the program and make sure our future is bright for all of us Americans.

Thanks Anthony

Jasper Lucas - NJ   February 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Jack,

As a huge football fan, I’m always excited about the Super Bowl, but this year, I have to say I’m more excited about Super Tuesday.

I know there are a lot of fans excited about the Patriots making history and going 19-0, but I’m much more excited about the fact that either a woman or a black man will become the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America. And as an African-American man myself, I’m particularly excited about the prospect of a black man actually becoming president - something I wasn’t sure until a few months ago I’d ever see in my lifetime. This is huge!

Since California is such an important state on Super Tuesday, and there are no west coast teams in the Super Bowl, then what’s more important for me is Super Tuesday, especially with the war in Iraq raging on and a back door policy to deploy National Guardsmen who are under trained, under funded and under lead!

Jack , you asked the wrong question. Which commercials are you most excited about ? Super Bowl commercials? or super Tuesday commercials? I’ll bet it Super Bowl commercials. Frankly I welcome the break for all the hype on Presidential debates. I only wish some of the Super Bowl commercials were more geared for us gals watching. (we watch football too)
