John Kerry endorsed Obama today. I think it should be meaningless, but the media seems to be playing it alot.

I was watching CNN and they were saying the same thing. His endorsement doesn't mean anything.
Hey Mike, did John Edwards run by himself in 2004?

Just to let everybody know, tomorrow night is the Michigan Primary. It'll only matter for the Republicans. The DNC won't allow Michigan any delagates at the convention because it's moved up the calendar without the DNC's consent. So, while there will actually be results for the Democrats it doesn't matter at all.

according to the news I saw earlier, I'd say no, lol No delegates will be allowed from Michigan or Florida will be allowed by the DNC. I'm starting to think that Hillary is going to win this. It breaks my heart too because the American people have a chance to prove to the world that we're better than 28 possible years of either a Bush or Clinton in the White House.

Well, The Michigan and Florida Delegates may be allowed at the convention. If it's clear who the nominee will be he or she will probably make a deal to let them in.
I'm not sure who will end up with the Democratic nomination. On Feb. 5 Clinton will probably win the two biggest states of California and New York, but if Obama can keep it close she won't be able to run away in the Delegate count. Also, Illinois is that day and Obama will win that one big, which will score him alot of delegates. There are other decent sized states that day that may go Obama. It may end up that neither Obama or Clinton will have 50% of the Delegates and Edwards will become King-maker.
On the Republican side, I think there race will not be over until their convention. Right now there are 3 canidates with a sizable amount of Delegates(Huckabee, Romney, McCain) and a 4th(Giuliani) who will end up with alot of them. I think the Republican convention will be the first one in recent American history that'll actually be a 'real' convention. Also don't be suprised in someone new jumps into this race.

The Nevada Caucuses were today and the winners were Romney and Clinton. For Romney this means he'll win the delegate for today. Clinton will probaly win 1 more delegate than Obama in Nevada making the total delegate count a tie heading into South Carolina. Edwards has pretty much lost all viability in this race. Less than a week ago he was polling in a statistical tie with Clinton and Obama in Nevada and today couldn't even break 5%. If Edwards can't win delegates in South Carolina, I can't see him doing well enough to gain any delegates in any future races, so the dream of King Maker may be gone.

Well, I'm glad Mitt won in Nevada because I'm not liking McClain. Not that I'd vote a republican, but I still have to notice who wins over there so I'll know who might end up being our president.
It's a tough one for me with Clinton and Obama. I want Obama to win because he's from here, but they both are good candidates to win.

Romney is by far my least favorite Republican. He's just seems to be a really rich whore. Out of the Republicans I like McCain best, but I wouldn't vote for any of them over any Democrat running.
I like Obama and Clinton both, but I fear that they're going to tear this party apart along factional lines.

I like McClain more now. He seems to be the smarter of the Republicans as far as who can run the country. I have to pay attention to who is winning on the Republican side because they could be our next president. Race and sex aside, if McClain wins I think Hillary is the only Dem who can beat him. While I love Barack and chances are I'll be voting for him, but a Clinton win would probably be best for the Democratic party. Honestly I don't see Barack beating McClain.

It's McCain not McClain ;D
I think the opposite. McCain can beat Clinton for sure. I think that's the only general election match-up where the Democrat will lose for sure. McCain is the only Republican who has a chance period in the General. A Democrat should win this election. Everything is lined up perfectly, but this party is skillful at grasping defeat out of the jaws of victory.
