    McCain is looking more and more like a done deal

    I don't think so quite yet. I think most of Romney's supporters will go to Huckabee (and hopefully to Paul) ... We'll see.

    That's about the size of it. The primary season went fast. It's only Feb 08

    On the democratic side I think Obama has momentum to beat Clinton. It is a horse race at this point though and will be interesting to see how it develops.

    I think Obama had 2 delegates ahead of Clinton but I guess it will be a tough fight to the end.

    It looks like McCain is likely to lose all three contests today (to Huckabee and he may even finish behind Paul in Washington State) ... that doesn't seem like much of a front-runner to me.

    In other words, I'm feeling pretty good about my "don't be too quick..." dealio when it comes to McCain. I think people have to realize that Huckabee doesn't have to win. They (Huckabee & Paul) just have to keep McCain from reaching the delegate count he needs to escape a brokered convention.

    There's still the super delegates and McCain may be able to get a few from Guliani.

    Republicans don't have super delegates like the Democrats.

    McCain is being rejected across the Republican party rank and file right now. I told ya, he's going to be the end of the Republican party. No one truly believes there is anything conservative about him, unless you buy into the (false) notion that the Republicans are the war party.

    Clinton had raised $175 million for her re-election and her presidential campaign over the last seven years?

    How the hell is the campaign broke?

    Honestly? Because she has no grassroots support. The people who carry signs and banners at her rallies and events are paid. No lie.

    She, like Romney, are only candidates because of their money and identity politics. Not on their merit, not on their platforms, and not on their popular appeal.

    I think Hillary is fading fast...and the tears are getting old. Although I do not want McCain in, I bet if the convention goes to the third ballet he will get it. Then I think it will be McCain vs. Obama.

    This parody video sums up McCain's chances in November to me. All the Obama campaign is going to have to do is play a few clips of these McCain quotes and he'll lose the moderate vote. He's already got very weak support in the Republican base. So what will that leave him with?

    There's only 47 Republicans in DC... (slight exaggeration.)
