Now what?


Super Tuesday is over and the dust is starting to settle. The results are interesting but as expected. The biggest surprise on the Republican side is the fact that Huckabee won quite a few more states than the zero predicted for him. This happened because some of the evangelicals decided to vote according to their faith and Huckabee is the only Christian. The GOP vote is a winner take all format, so winning those states hamstrung Romney. Huckabee stole more of Romney's votes than McCain's and put the latter on the stage of victory. Honestly, McCain's my man. I have figured out why. He is a liberal conservative such as myself as mentioned in the Black Republican article from before.

Clinton and Obama are basically tied. Hillary won the larger and coastal states, while Barack's vote came from the smaller middle states. The story can be spun many ways stating both sides claimed victory. Using football philosophies, it would seem that the longer Obama is in the race, the greater chance for victory. This is true for all underdogs. A sense in hope can generate within the perceived lesser that is many times more powerful than the greater. Obama is the underdog in this situation. I'm waiting for the Al Gore hammer to drop.

Super Fat Tuesday



Today is the most important day politically in quite a long time.
The outcome of today's vote actually mean something and the world can be impacted.

Today is also Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday, meaning the biggest party in the country is taking place in New Orleans. Mardi Gras is important because it's part of the healing process. The ghost of Katrina still impacts the city and the power of Mardi Gras and the Jazz Festival is the only thing that can repel her.

Basically almost one half of the delegates are available in today's election, with California leading the way in terms of total delegates. Today can decide who are next president will be. Obama gives the most hope, while Hillary lend stability. I guess the same thing can be said about Romney and McCain respectively.

John Edwards, Attorney General


That is a great call. Whomever Edwards endorses will probably select him as the Attorney General or as a Cabinet member. Because of that, Edwards will wait until a critical moment like February 4th to announce his endorsement.

He is probably negotiating the rewards in choosing each side. Who ever offers the brightest future for Edwards will win his support. Great call! Secretary something John Kerry, and Teddy of the State. Al Gore needs to swallow his pride and run as VP. He can be president later, he will be younger then than McCain is now.
