They called it "Super Tuesday," now some are calling it "Chaotic Tuesday."

While the media pundits assured their audiences that there would be definite leaders in each party after Tuesday--they were wrong. Again.

It seems that both Hollywood and conservative talk radio may have taken a hit yesterday. The traditional Hollywood crowd has and did support Hillary Clinton and she did not prevail. Conservative talk radio, generally, strongly supported Mit Romney. It is said that Romney is reevaluating his candidacy this morning.

Both Clinton and Obama are claiming victory this morning, while NBC News is saying that, after looking at the Democrat's complex formula for giving out delegates, Obama will end up with 840 to 849 delegates and Clinton will have 829 to 838. Both are claiming victory and moving ahead with their campaigns.

McCain won the most delegates which now gives him more than twice as many as his nearest rival.

However, Republicans are fractured as to who they think should lead. Some evangelicals are saying they cannot vote for McCain as a matter of conscience and will continue to support Huckabee. There are those Republicans who are saying they do not believe Huckabee can beat either Clinton or Obama. Romney supporters are waiting to hear from the candidate regarding his future.

So, who should lead America?

There are two things that I believe every citizen should do in regard to this watershed election.

First, think deeply and deliberately about it. John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court said, "The Americans are the first people whom heaven has favored with an opportunity of deliberating upon and choosing the forms of government under which they should live."

Some are saying that the deliberation, which is sometimes very contentious, is destroying the parties or even the political process. This is not true. It has historically been healthy for our form of government.

We have provided links to a number of resources, which will give you information on election dates, voter registration, Republican Party, Democratic Party, caucuses and primaries, and candidates for President and Washington State elected offices. Take some time and become as knowledgeable as possible. (Go to the Vote! section of the website).

Secondly, pray. I mean really pray about it. I personally believe God cares about the deliberations of this nation and who will lead America. I believe God will lead individuals, who seek His guidance, in how they vote.

In fact, I would suggest that all people of faith pray each day for God's will in these elections.

And finally, you've got to actually vote. All the knowledge and deliberation will be of no value if we do not vote.

We will provide as much information, inspiration, and motivation as we possibly can in the coming months, but at the end of the day, it's up to you.

God bless you and God bless America.
