I will be anchoring Pacifica Radio’s national election night live broadcast from 5-10pm Pacific time with Davey D and Larry Bensky.  We will have returns and commentary in a way that only Pacifica can bring you - from angles that CNN wouldn’t see.  Stations and affiliates across the nation will carry the broadcast, so this will be a coast to coast review of the latest returns.  Our final hour will feature your calls along with capitol correspondent Mark Curtis to assess the results.  The election night isn’t likely to decide who will be the Democratic nominee given the complex rules around assigning state delegates to the party convention (this website really explains it well). But, it’s likely that the top Democratic candidates will declare victories over the same results - looking at popular votes and delegates.   It’s a historic vote and a real nail-biter.

Also, join the on-line conversation at www.kpfa.org where you can sound off and find articles and bios of our evening’s guests.  More and much more tomorrow night.

On February 5th, voters in 22 states will caucus and vote on the composition of roughly half the delegates at this year’s Democratic and Republic national conventions (and more than a third of the delegates in the Green convention). It’s the biggest Super Tuesday ever—and virtually guaranteed to determine which candidates will go to the mat for the presidency in November.

For Republicans, it’s a battle of the base, as candidates representing the party’s libertarians, evangelicals, and business conservatives pull the GOP in opposite directions. For Democrats, it’s a battle of the buck between the two best-financed candidates in the history of American politics.

KPFA/Pacifica will bring you up-to-the minute voting results, speeches from winners and losers, and analysis of who’s voting, why, and what it all portends for November. Veteran Pacifica broadcaster and Polk Award winner Larry Bensky will co-anchor from the studios of KPFA along with KPFA host and producer Aimee Allison.
