A recurring theme I’ve heard pretty much this entire primary is being repeated today during Super Tuesday:
I just don’t see how the South could vote for McCain (though we have before).
Now, I have never bought into that logic for several very simple reasons. First of all:
He obviously knows how to handle a gun. That’s important [...]

It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

I went off a while back on Jesse Jackson.  He seemed to think Barack Obama wasn’t black enough.  Then of course, Hillary’s had some issues garnering every single female vote because she’s not womanly enough.  Once Barack was declared the most liberal senator in the United States, Hillary also got the dubious label of not [...]

In 1996, Ralph Nader electrified the disenchanted and ran as a third-party Green candidate for President.  When it was all said and done, he came in fourth with .71% of the popular vote, not carrying enough votes to win one single small state.   However, he did edge out Harry Browne ( remember him? ).  This [...]

Given Rudy’s flop in Florida, I fully expected him to give up.  However, given Edwards’ usual tenacity in the face of obvious defeat, I fully expected him to ride the entire race out, even if he didn’t do so well in the polls.  The reason being I never thought he had a chance to win [...]

The story about John McCain winning Florida has devolved in the discussion group to almost exclusively a debate about Mormonism.
Could someone PLEASE explain to me again what the issue is and why it matters?  We don’t elect a Pope or head of the church.  We elect an administrator to safe-guard our military and fiscal spending.  [...]

After putting all his eggs in one basket, Rudy did dismally in Florida.  He’s out.
I had hopes for Rudy being  a viable candidate, he just either chose, or was advised some really awful strategy.  By ignoring all the previous primaries, he ignored all the free publicity that comes with it.  Even if he hadn’t won [...]

First, she lost this one:

Now, a lot’s being said about that one, but I think it’s over-rated as far as the average voter goes.  He’s popular in Boston, but that’s about it.  The only thing it does show is a crack in the Clinton “establishment”.   Bill & Ted go back a long way, I’m kinda [...]

Fred Thompson has pretty much declared it’s over.
I honestly never saw any indication he was in it.

I gotta score one for Huckabee today.  On the issue of the Confederate flag in South Carolina:

“You don’t like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,” Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, told supporters Thursday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
“In fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told [...]
