It was barely after 5 pm, and CNN had announced no surprises (“Romney Wins Massachusetts!” “Obama wins Illinois!”), but CMC students were steadily arriving with their laptops and to-go boxes from Collins. They were coming to The Hub to see the makeshift projection TV and watch Wolf Blitzer at the Super Tuesday Results Party hosted by the Claremont Political Union.

The Claremont Political Union was created as a confluence of the Claremont Democrats and Claremont Republicans clubs, and CMC’s two partisan newspapers, the Claremont Port Side, and the Claremont Independent.
