The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Interesting. Today seems to be following the super Tuesday pattern. For whatever reason, Clinton's got a big advantage among people who make up their mind on the last day (or at least tell pollsters that they're undecided until the last day). I wonder what is it about her that attracts indecisive people?

Safety. They know what to expect from her [based upon the last time a Clinton was in the White House].

don't think anyone really cares but...

to you Mike Huckabee. It was my honor and pleasure to fight for you through the past seven months. It was a great fight and I don't regret at all being along for the ride despite what turned out to be a bitter end. I am very proud of the effort that we put forth but I am even prouder of the candidate that we supported in you and the clean campaign that you ran. I look forward to 2012 when we do it all over again but with a much more successful outcome.

Condolences, BDB. You fought the good fight.

That was no Obamarama last night. I do not think it is a change in momentum and I think the spin on Ohio being the state that seals the nomination for the winner in the primary is hooey. Hooey for the last 100 or so years, but still hooey to me!

I'm totally on the fence about November if Hillary wins the nomniation. I cannot, in good conscience, not cast a vote. One vote less from me would mean one more vote for McCain and I cannot in all good conscience place a vote in his column.

Sigh, no matter how much things change, they always stay the same?

Thanks! I don't feel too much better this morning but I'll be fine. I am very proud of the fight I fought. I learned a lot about the process and about myself. It has been said that losing builds character and I can attest to that one right now.

As for what I will be doing come November. I will be fulfilling my promise that I made last August. I will be (with the strokes of the trusty adapted keypad) writing in Huckabee. It might be a waste of my vote but I made a promise and promises need to be kept if I have any integrity.

Best of luck to everyone else's political fortunes. And thanks for putting up with my bias for these past several months. I appreciate it.
