After a Super Tuesday in which Barack Obama’s well-financed, all-terrain effort fought Hillary Clinton and her big state strategy to a virtual draw, the Democratic co-frontrunners will answer the bell again tomorrow.

February 9 won’t be dubbed Super Saturday, but the three states voting — Washington and Nebraska caucus, while Louisiana stages a primary - will be critical in gauging momentum heading into next week and beyond.

The Potomac Primary / Beltway Primary / Super Tuesday II looms on the 12th, with Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. Dems go to the polls.

Race could be pivotal in some post-Super Tuesday races. Barack Obama will be hard to beat in states with larger African-American numbers.

For what it’s worth, African-Americans made up 46 percent of the voters in the 2004 Louisiana Democratic primary, according to CNN.

Another big factor favoring Obama has been the role of independents. They cannot vote in every primary, but can in some states, and when they have, they’ve delivered for him in places like Utah.

Barack and Michelle Obama look to pile up more victories.

Barack Obama plans a campaign blitz in all of these states, then Hawaii and Wisconsin the following week. Clinton will focus on Ohio and Texas, which vote March 4, and then on Pennsylvania April 22.

“Many of us will be making our reservations for Texas and Ohio and perhaps Pennsylvania and beyond that,” said Clinton’s communications director, Howard Wolfson, who said the race is likely to remain close and inconclusive due to the proportional allocation of delegates.

“Our path to the nomination never factored in a big day for us on February 5. Rather, we planned to stay close enough in the delegate count so that we could proceed to individually focus on the states in the next set of contests,” Obama campaign manager David Plouffe countered.

After much badgering from the Hillary Clinton campaign, Obama has agreed to participate in two debates prior to March 4.

Barack Obama accepted NBC’s invite to debate Clinton on February 26 at Cleveland State University in Ohio, and agreed to another debate in Texas before March 4 that was not on Clinton’s list.

The Obama camp was initially reticent to commit to debates, which Clinton is pushing hard for - given her less-than-ideal financial situation, free media will be critical for the former First Lady.

The predictions for tomorrow: Based on his dominance in many of Tuesday’s much-ignored caucuses in the West and Midwest, we like Barack to win Nebraska, and we think he’ll win Louisiana as well, though not by as much. Most of Clinton’s resources this week have been allocated to Washington, so she looks good there, but not by too wide a margin.
