The Democratic and Republican primaries are underway and will determine who the front runners are on the trail to the White House.

Sen. John McCain's possible victory in Florida will give him a two win lead among Republican candidates.

Thus far, the only change any candidate has brought to America is the constant change in position in this historical political race. The highly anticipated Florida primary and Super Tuesday have many American voters on the edge of their seats.

Rudy Giuliani supporters are hoping his strategic plan to emphasize strongly on Florida prevails, slamming Giuliani right back in the Republican race.

Economical Conservative, Mitt Romney remains in stiff competition in the Republican race and has many supporters in the south. Romney's front-running position has been shaken recently by attacks from McCain mentioning he was a liberal with a bed economic record in his state of Massachusetts.

However, according to RealClearPolitics.com, polls foreshadow Romney coming in second to McCain in Florida.

The Democratic Party remains a two person race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts recently back Obama calling him a "man with extraordinary gifts of leadership and character."

Despite Obama's win in the South Carolina primary and his public alliance with Oprah Winfrey, he still has more people to persuade.

Sen. Clinton was recently given public support by The New York Times newspaper. The highly influential newspaper also gave support to Senator McCain.

Sen. John Edwards is still struggling in third place following his fourth lose among the state primaries.

Both Edwards and Obama both spent much of their time in Georgia the past few weeks, trying to reach out to the Democratic voters in the state.

It is completely unclear who has an advantage over who in this tight race. According to the Associated Press, it is mathematically too close of a race to predict who will succeed on Super Tuesday for either party.

Super Tuesday could possibly be beneficial for trailing candidate John Edwards, creating an even more interesting race.
Georgia's primary vote will be held Feb. 5, 2008.
