looks like two more marquee candidates are going by the wayside. both are expected to make an announcement today. on the dem side, this clears way for a clinton/obama slugfest. on the republican side, this makes things a little more interesting heading into super tuesday. I'd imagine that huckabee may drop out if he doesn't have a strong showing as it sounds like he's low on cash.
big jim, looks like you might actually get the chance to hear ron paul speak at tonight's cnn debate now that there are only four candidates left.

Hopefully Huckabee gets out too, before Super Tuesday.
Rudy took a gamble and lost. I heard it being called this morning, the biggest political blunder in recent history.
The media is in a frenzy building up McKain. He'll have to reinvent himself, soon. He is more of a Democrat than Republican. His past actions speak louder than any words coming out of his mouth today. If he does get the nod, he'll need to pick a conservative VP. He can talk about Reagn all he wants. I bet Ron is turning in his grave, listening to McKain compare himself to Reagan.
Maybe it's just me, but in my opinion John McKain reminds me of Bob Dole without the crippled hand. He'll be slaughter in the general election. Doesn't matter if it's Clinton or Obama
Speaking of Dole, did anyone catch him at the State of the Union. I think he had the same pen stuck in his hand. ;D

His past actions speak louder than any words coming out of his mouth today. I don't really understand how he's doing so well in these closed primaries. Typically people register republican because they are conservative, so I don't understand why such a person would vote for McCain considering he is about as un-convervative of a republican that you can find. Perhaps it's an issue of perceived electability. One person in particular told me that he didn't think Ron Paul could win, so he was going to vote for McCain. I personally don't see the logic in that, but a lot of people look at the election process like a football game...i.e. they're most concerned with "winning." Either that, or people are just getting caught up in the hype. |

I heard on Fox Radio today that McCain is out of money. Guess it doesn't matter because the mainstream media will do what they can to help him out.
Hopefully CNN will be streaming the debate tonight. Have way to much computer stuff to get done here in the eBay dungeon.

I think McCain is getting so much support because people either like, or HATE Hillary, and they think he has the best chance of beating her (assuming she wins). This is taken from the Rasmussen polls from RasmussenReports.com.....
McCain now leads Clinton 48% to 40%. He leads Barack Obama 47% to 41%.

With Rudy out, I am about to do something that I never thought I'd do....I'm going to support Ron Paul.
