it's disappointing, but I'm ok with it. I already had kinda moved on from it if you can understand what i mean. I knew that this wasn't going to end in the nomination, especially after Iowa. Anyway, I support Obama now.

The two interesting story lines for me so far have been first a Tornado outbreak in Arkansas and Tennessee. Apparently some polling places in Tennesee had to close early due to damage or impending tornadoes. 2nd Obama is winning the delegate counts big in Illinois and Georgia, but Clinton isn't running up as big of delegate leads where she is winning big.

I'm an Independent, but would likely vote for Romney. I really hope Obama gets the nomination for the Democrats, though. Politically, I don't think I'd agree with him on anything, but he is a decent man. I can't say the same for Hillary.

Clinton and Obama basically tied last night. It looks like they were both somewhere between 830 and 850 delegates. The last projection I heard was 841-837 Obama. I think the tie favors Obama because he already had the pleged delegate lead and lots more money than Clinton. The Clinton campaign seems to be in financial troube. Today Clinton lent her own campaign 5 million and her senior staff forwent there salaries. The way the map looks Obama should rack the majority of the delegates from the upcoming caucuses and primaires. The race will now go to March 4th with Ohio and Texas.
McCain became the Republican nominee in everything but name. He's about 300 delegates from the nomination while Huckabee and Romney are 1,000 away. Huckabee's victories last night made Romney pretty irrelevent. He can't win in the South and he can only win low delegate western and upper midwestern caucuses. I think his campaign is starting to look forward to 2012 or 16. Huckabee will become the conservative alternative. I still think there may be some one jumping in this race late to be the hero for the far right wing of the party. The names I look for are Newt Gingrich and Jeb Bush.

It's looking like this could be a very big week for Barack Obama. He won more delegates and states on Super Tuesday, raised an amazing load of cash since Super Tuesday, swept the weekend races easily, Clinton made a change at the top of her campaign, and he is in great shape to sweep all of the Chesapeke primaries tomorrow.
I wonder if Clinton holding out for Texas and Ohio is a smart choice. Look what happened to Rudy when he put all of his cards in Florida. It gave all of the other candidates plenty of face time during the early primaries and basically left his campaign dark for about a month until Florida came. I hope the strategy doesn't work for Hillary.
I'm a hardcore Obama supporter. I worked with the man while he was in the Illinois Senate and I organized his commercial shoot in 2004 while he was running for US Senate. Out of everyone I've met politically, he was the most honest and straight forward. He would be an amazing President. I'll never forget riding around rural Macoupin County with the man and eating Hardee's chicken w/ him. Two weeks later he gave his speech at the DNC and the rest is history. Every time I've seen him since then though, he has always remembered me and been the nicest man. Washington changes a lot of people...not Barack.

This month will be big for Obama. I don't think he'll lose a contest until March. The only chance Clinton has is Wisconsin, but given the way the states have broken in that region I'll give the edge to Obama. I think Clinton still looks looks good in Texas and Ohio. I think she'll probably win both of those states, but Obama should be able to keep it close enough that she wont' run away with the delegate count. I'm feel pretty confident Obama will win the pledged delegate count by around 100, but it's really all about the super delegates.

I think it's also a matter of watching how close the next few primaries/caucuses will be. If Obama wins big, he's in good shape, if he wins but doesn't take a real lead, it might get down to the super delegates, which I think would/could be in Clinton's advantage. I don't care a great deal (when it comes down to policy issues) which of the two Democrats wins, but I favor Obama cause of his personality. Now I can't vote anyway, so my opinion doesn't really matter, but unlike many people who are thriving on a movement, I think he is actually sincere. I do have to admit, the more and more I hear/read on Clinton, the more I start to like her. But the same goes for Obama. Clinton might be the one who voices things better (especially technical and policy issues) but Obama has more fire, more enthusiasm, which I think is equally important. They both obviously will change things. To what extent, that's not just up to them I'm afraid. We'll see how it will play out, but it does seem that Obama really has the momentum.

...and he can win in November. She will just unify the Republican party against her. Obama would draw votes from a lot of Republicans.
