Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

Richardson Out
Well that didn't take long, and this is exactly how I felt about him:
"He portrayed his campaign as a job application for president, and ran clever ads that showed a bored interviewer unimpressed with his dazzling resume."
Unfortunately, he never did anything with the resume'. He just left it hanging there as if it said everything it needed to say about him. Sadly, many Americans can't read and need to have it spelled out to them in quite a bit of detail which he never provided.
I'm not sure why the media is focusing on the primary wins instead of delegates captured. At the end of the day, this is all about how many delegates you bring to the Convention. After Tuesday, the breakdown looks like this:
Obama is still leading the overall race by a single delegate, so it could truly go anywhere from here. And if Edwards does well as he is expected to do in his home states of the Carolinas, then it could be really interesting.
Sadly, Romney and Huckabee still have a sizeable lead over McCain. He needs to keep this momentum going, or it's going to be a short lived surge for him. I would love to see him get the nomination for the Republicans. The other two just scare the living daylights out of me.
I heard a call in thing on CSPAN radio yesterday and some blindly conservative chick with a drawl called in to express her support for "Hucklebee". I thought, yup, that's exactly the kind of person who would vote for him.
I'd love to see Huckabee get the nod, for no other reason than, as someone else said, "what it means to their party when when the snake-handling yokels that they have been stringing along for all of these years, finally show up and the front door and want to marry their sister."
