Anticipating Super Tuesday
by Allen Larson, President
Cape Cod Center for Sustainability
 As candidates drop out of this season's reality television hit "The Primaries," only one real question remains with regard to Super Tuesday: Will the crescendo of support for the surging campaign of Barack Obama give him enough votes to catch and surpass the established and resilient Hillary Clinton? In the Republican race, John McCain is poised to win and pull away from Mitt Romney. In part this is due to the fact that evangelicals support the third GOP candidate, Mike Huckabee, who takes votes away from Romney more than he does McCain.
What's clear in both parties is that voter turnout is rising to record levels this year. It's an "indicator" we've followed closely in our past reports on sustainability. We do so on the premise that voter turnout reflects the extent to which a community is civically engaged. And the corollary is that a community's quality of life improves as more citizens engage themselves in self-governing activities like voting.
As we anticipate the events of Super Tuesday, our expectation is that voter turnout will be high across the country as well as in Massachusetts and on Cape Cod. MORE
