The plot thickens...

Well, the Republican race has pretty much settled in. Even Fred Thompson has endorsed John McCain, so this only leaves Mike Huckabee either in denial or running for Veep. Only he knows for sure. But you can already see the media changing from "we love McCain the maverick" to "the Democrats are ready to open up on the Republican." Interesting. Huckabee has won Kansas' caucus easily and as I write this, may win Washington state and Louisiana. It's not going to be pretty.

Meanwhile, it's ugly for the Clintons as well. Obama has taken the Nebraska and Washington caucuses easily and seems on his way to winning the Louisiana primary at press time.

Will he be able to keep it together all the way to November? Has presidential politics in America become a kind of "American Idol" affair?

What a year...

Could it be that the Dem. Race is over yet? What else is there to come that would swing toward's Clinton's direction?

Good question, Jon. I think I address that a bit in my Feb. 13th post. I don't think she can...but the Clinton's seem to come back from the dead more than Freddie Krueger or Jason of Friday 13th...
