McCaine beat Huckabee, 48 to 43 percent.

Also, I think his folks picked up some of Romney's 'Change' signs.
I think McCain and Obama are expected to win everything tonight... prepare for incoming dirt on B.O. before the Texas primary, though.

I mean, if someone says "Hey, I'm voting for my candidate because he's white," _someone_ would get crucified...

I just listened for about 5 minutes and his speech template seems to be "XXX is a problem. I have hope that we can fix it" without any specifics as to how he's going to do that.

I don't get it. Can anybody explain the fascination with that guy???
??He's an excellent speaker and most people are superficial/ignorant about a lot of things, which makes them like "ideas" that can be said in a sound bite (ie: "Potomac Primaries
). People hear "change" and "hope" from a guy who speaks well, and this makes the fact that he's pretty much an empty suit all but irrelevant.

He's for change and hope, dude! If he wins, we'll have change and hope! No, I don't know what the hell he's changing, or what the hell we're hoping for - but change r0xx0rz.First guy in years who hasn't been droning on and on about social security. This gets the youth vote. Has a good voice for speechmaking. Doesn't look crazy. Is the media darling. Years of Republican hate of the Clintons has crossed party boundaries - so you've got Dems that don't like her, either. He's pure as the driven snow, for now.

Why does Obama's podium have a big W on it?

Hillary Sinks in Potomac
It's about the primary, but that's a pleasant image.

Culturally, this country has descended to a point where melanin and ovaries have become major political advantages.
The racists and sexists in this country do not want equality, they want reparations. It is a sad day when the post of POTUS too becomes such a reparation. <barf>

Hillary will then do anything to get the super delgates on her side. maybe to the point of annoying the party base so they are less interested in supporting her in the general election.

Sort of. The fort is a good distance from the river itself. I don't think you could even see the river from the park when the area was clearcut for farming.

Right now, Obama is still the golden boy of the media... According to CNN, he's actually had the advantage for the past couple of months... Basically, they're guiding the percentage who wants to vote for a winner in his direction. Which is rather slimy. And somewhat borders on election manipulation.
Maybe Dan Rather is behind the scenes, forging more documents from a dead man to be released just before the election.

Cause he's young. Black African-American. Considered to be "hip". And he's for CHANGE, dude!. CHANGE!
White guilt + college-age stupidity= popularity for him.
Remember Scout26's experience in working the polls? How many Democrat voters couldn't even spell "democrat"?
What are you talking about white guilt? The majority of people voted for him. You do realize that don't you? What is this college age stupidity you are talking about? Young people? They have every right to say what they want and who they support. White guilt + college-age stupidity= popularity for him.

Tecumseh, you are aware that the man you support (at least, I think you support him, you defend him and currently have a link to him in your tag) would ban a LOT of guns, right?

Pretty much ALL of them. He wants to ban the sale or transfer of ALL semiautomatics. Handguns, rifles, relics, doesn't matter.
He also wants a national ban on concealed carry for all but police and military. And if he doesn't trust YOU, Tecumseh, why the hell should you trust him?
My sentiments towards the man cannot be expressed in polite terms.
