No “super surprises” followed Super Tuesday. In the afterglow of CNN’s continuous coverage, sunrise Wednesday shed little light on the primary elections held in 24 states on Tuesday.

What do we know? Good question. Answer: very little.

Throughout the day, Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama traded victories. Obama champed in more states, but Clinton walked with the grand prize: California.

Among Republicans, John McCain established a decisive lead over Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. McCain also claimed victory in California.

As McCain forges ahead, Clinton and Obama will go round for round to establish the momentum necessary to win the party’s nomination.

And this is where it gets tricky.

Media outlets on Wednesday began reporting the clear divide between voters who support Clinton and Obama.

Readers responded to The New York Times when it endorsed Clinton, saying they “would not bother to vote if Mr. Obama lost the nomination.” The New York Times reported the response Wednesday in a commentary on party unity, which was a popular theme in Super Tuesday analysis.

The Times also reported Obama’s wife, Michelle, when asked if she’d support Clinton in the event Clinton wins the party’s nomination, said, “I’d have to think about that.”

McCain isn’t faring much better with Republicans, and has divided the far-right segment of his party.

Conservative personalities Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter have rejected McCain. Beck and Coulter have said they would vote for Clinton if McCain is the Republican nominee. Others have said they would rather lose the White House than vote for McCain.

While that divide mirrors what we’ve seen in the Democratic Party in the past, Republicans are notoriously well organized.

In short, if, in fact, McCain wins the party’s nomination, the conservatives who loathe him may grumble on their way to the polls, but they’d sooner vote for a Republican they hate than a Democrat they really hate. (Not to mention, they wouldn’t run the risk of losing the White House, and allowing a Democrat the opportunity to appoint three Supreme Court justices).

So, while the Beck and Coulter comments make outrageous teasers and sound bites, there will be zero follow through come Nov. 4.

Republicans, including those who detest McCain, will rally to support their candidate.

The opposite may be true among Democrats, who seem to struggle with voter apathy when their candidate of choice doesn’t make it to the big dance.

Following the candidates’ nominations, the challenge for both parties will be to unite voters. Whichever party, Republican or Democratic, rallies voters best, is going to prevail on Nov. 4.

The Gay & Lesbian Times endorsed Clinton leading up to Super Tuesday. She represents the change we’d like to see in America. She is our candidate of choice.

Regardless, the outcome of the primary election, and regardless the nominee of the Democratic Party, we strongly encourage voters to vote.

If you are with Team Hillary, and she loses the nomination, we encourage you to vote for Barack Obama. Likewise, if you’re with Team Obama, and he loses the nomination, join Team Hillary.

This is a crucial election. The stakes are high, and America’s future rests on the outcome of Nov. 4. When a candidate receives the party’s nomination, it’s time to set the squabbling aside and make our voices heard at the polls.
