John S McCain is becoming the real comeback kid on the primaries, he is about to be crowned the Republican Party champion. Only a water cooler can stop this man from becoming the Republican Party 2008 presidential nominee. Limbaugh, Hannity, Reagan, and the rest of the right wing wacko talk show hosts, eat your heart out!Updated 02/07/2008 at 0740 Pacific. Seven Million Dollar Man. That is Barack Obama. The AP is reporting that Barack Obama has raised $7.2 million for his presidential campaign since the first polls closed on Tsunami Tuesday night. This is a remarkable figure that is causing concern among supporters of The Clintons. And oh by the way, Barack Obama continues to ride a wave of fundraising from large donors and small Internet contributors, also raised $32 million in January. At the same time we saw The Clintons loaning their campaign $5 million late last month as Barack Obama was out-raising and out-spending The Clintons heading into the Tsunami Tuesday contests. Some senior staffers on The Clintons campaign are voluntarily forgoing paychecks as the campaign heads into the next round of contests. The two leading Democrats outpaced all candidates in 2007, with each raising $100 million. I have not and will not donate a penny to any of the candidates. Oh yes, you can buy your way to the White House. Note, I continue to say The Clintons because Barack Obama is running against BOTH of them.
Updated 02/06/2008 at 1630 Pacific. More bad news for the Republican Party based on number of voters on Tsunami Tuesday. As per radio reports, the Democratic Party was able to beat the pants out the Republican Party yesterday by a HUGE margin. How bad was it?
Democrats: 14.6 million votes
Republicans: 8.3 million votes
Things could get real UGLY for the Republicans in November if this trend continues. The Democrats are all fired-up, while the Republicans remain totally demoralized.
Updated 02/06/2008 at 1430 Pacific. Very interesting development on the Democratic Party. Barack Obama is now AHEAD of The Clintons on the delegate count. We are talking about the regular delegates and not the Super Delegates [those will sell their soul to The Clintons]. It is going to be FUN to watch if at the end of the campaign Barack Obama is the one with the largest number of delegates - then watch The Clintons ROB the nomination with the Super Delegates. Click [here] for a good article on Obama leading The Clintons on the delegates count, and The Clinton camp is in denial!
Time for Barack Obama to tell The Clintons I Won't Back Down.
See I told you so, politics is FUN!!!
Updated 02/06/2008 at 1315 Pacific. When Will the Wounds Heal? That is the title to a good article on The WSJ online - America is now divided, and it is divided within party lines. Check this out. With Super Tuesday past, that law seems to be in full effect, especially for Democrats. Whatever else yesterday's voting may have done, it did a good job of laying bare the divides within each party. More than that, it may have exacerbated the splits. The Democratic fight between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seems certain to continue, and it is showing a clear divide between whites and blacks, between Hispanics and non-Hispanics, between women and men, and between older and younger voters. And the GOP is divided too, check the rest of the story on this link.

Well, Tsunami Tuesday is over and on the Republican side of the house now we have a clear front runner. John S McCain with the help of Mike Huckabee is now solid on the lead and only a water cooler can stop this man from becoming the Republican Party 2008 presidential nominee. This man continues to drive the right wing wacko talk show hosts and right wing wacko writers crazy with his victories. And then there is Mike Huckabee, double-teaming with John S McCain to stop Mitt Romney by any means necessary.
On the Democratic Side of the house, I was totally surprised with the Barack Obama victories, this man was able to WIN in places where I was not giving him a chance in hell to win. The only problem with this candidate is the total DISLIKE by some Latinos. We have some issues with the Latino/African Americans relations in this county, the Latinos just don't trust the African Americans [and it shows on the poll demographics, the Latinos giving The Clintons huge victories]. On the winning column the big winner of the night was Barack Obama, winning more states and caucuses than the rest of the candidates [as of this writing he won in 13 states and is leading in the great state of New Mexico].
The game is almost over on the Republican side with John S McCain becoming the de facto front runner. But on the Democratic side of the house the game will go on, but the numbers are on The Clintons side, plus a large majority of the Super Delegates will go with The Clintons, meaning that for Barack Obama he must continue to run and there is a steep hill in front of him, he is going to need a good pair of legs to continue charging all the rolling hills ahead.
See I told you so, politics is fun!

I have to admit that while I was interested 8 years ago and more knowledgeable than some of my coworkers, I still was a not as aware of the whole super delegate thing. In other words I knew the difference between a caucus and voting and I knew about the electoral college BEFORE the general election...unlike some of my coworkers. I remember warning one that the election didn't necessarily mean anything.
What gets me is why have conservatives sat back for the last 7 1/2 years and allowed the libs to accuse us of not counting every vote and rigging elections yada yada yada. Especially when they are the ones who ACTUALLY don't count every vote and rig elections via super delegates!
If I had known that 7 1/2 years ago I think I would have had even more fun standing up for Bush. You know, back when he was worth standing up for. *sigh* I remember back when we were proud of him....

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the comment. Super Delegates will be the ones SELECTING [vice electing] the next Democratic nominee. As far as the current man in the White House, he have caused GRAVE damage to his party and the GOP must pick a solid candiate for the 2008 presidential election or the party run the risk of losing the White House. Just take a look at the number of voters on the DEM side and the GOP side during the primaries - the DEM side is fired-up big time because they smell the blood in the water, and at the same time the GOP is demoralized and disorganized. This could be a LONG year for the GOP!

In_spired is making 'somewhat' of a prediction. In my opinion there have already been too many surprises. I would have never dreamed that JM would be the GOP front runner at this point. My prediction is that there will be another huge surprise before this is all over. What surprise? dunno. That will be the surprise!
Maybe I'm dreaming...we'll see.
Have a good day!

Thanks for dropping by and thanks for the comment. JSM is doing okay in the primaries because he is the next man in line [that is how it is done in the GOP, you must wait your turn, and this is JSM's turn to be the nominee]. I do not trust JSM and I do not trust Huckabee and will NOT vote for this duo in November. I like your prediction, I will wait for a HUGE surprise to happen at least in the GOP side of the house, changing the political spectrum. Have a fine Texas weekend.

Romney to suspend campaign???
This is not the surprise I was anticipating!!

Watching the CPAC meeting on CSPAN and the tickler says that Romney is suspending the campaign, I was expecting Romney to make an announcement YESTERDAY about his campaign, things are just not working out for him. Still waiting for a REAL surprise.
