It was a Super Tuesday week with a not so super result for finding a clear winner in the Republican presidential primaries.  It continued to be a bad week for Rush Limbaugh and now  UNC student critics want UNC sports shows on a Limbaugh-free radio station.  And it was a really bad week for former Durham DA Tracy Cline who was removed from office last Friday.  This and more as Gary Robertson of the AP and Mike Davis of WPTF News join host Barlow Herget to review the week's news.
