That's a funny thing about it TIS, I'm a registered Republican. Mig: I'm a registered Democrat and we've been tracking you for years.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was very impressed by Huckabee's humility in defeat last night. Now it looks like the Republicans will be united after all. It seems Hillary didn't win by enough, because she's still roughly 100 delegates behind. Plus, Obama is winning the Texas caucus. That's a really weird system they have down there.  If this thing drags out much longer, the Dems may just have a hard time defeating a united Republican party.  I'm happy for McCain though, he seems to be a decent guy.

Mig:
I'm a registered Democrat and we've been tracking you for years.  I've been stalked!! Well, let's just say we Democrats have been prudent. We'll send you some of the pictures we have and, perhaps, we can convince you to vote Democratic in the election.

She has no reason to stop now. She is going to win Pennsylvania (she is ahead and Fast Eddy Rendell will insure a victory), and she will go to the convention saying she won the "big states."
The sliming of Obama has begun with that picture of him in African garb and the muslim rumors. They are also going to pound him on his affiliation with that guy in Chicago who is going on trial for corruption....
The Clintons sliming someone for affiliating with unsavory characters reminds me of the line in GF III when Michael tells Luchese his tactics are despicable and Luchese says, "That's quite an indictment coming from a Corleone."
McCain also has a nice trap set for Obama. A Year ago Obama said if the GOP nominee would run with public funds only he would do likewise. Of course since then they have changed the election rules allowing annonymously funded non-profits to advertise for whom they please, and a Supreme Court decision has made it more difficult to control the messages these groups send out. Of course McCain would run on pubic funds, and he owuld let the GOP "swiftboat" Obama while claiming all the time he has nothing to do with it. McCain will try to make Mike Dukakis look like John Wayne compared to Obama.
To that end I like Howard Dean already going after McCain's ethics.
If Hillary gets the nomination, it will be WWIII between her and McCain. RIght now she has some momentum, and Obama needs to stay on message and keep giving speeches to big rallies, and ignore the advice to tone it down. For the life of me I do not undertand why candidates get themselves in front runner positions and then listen to adviser who tell them not to be themselves.
The Dems in the general election, along with their surrogates will flood the airwaves with so many ads that half the population will think McCain's first name is Bush.
However it works out this is going to be one messy and hard fought election.

Don't you think that if she loses the nom. she will have all of these votes contested? I think if it ever got to that, the party leaders would finally put her in her place. I really think they're tired of the Clintons. I know I am.

Did anybody see the document Tim Russert had that was purportedly from the Obama campaign? It was on MSNBC around midnight. The Obama staff allegedly handicapped the primaries months ago and were accurate about the 10 straight primary wins that he just had, plus that Hillary would win OH. I cannot remember the TX prediction. The Tx prediction was he would lose. He also predicts he will lose PA.

Well, I posted this before. If she were to get the nomination through party shenanigans, it would set back race relations in this country quite a bit.
Think about it. A black man wins it fair and square, then this white woman, with a shady past, steals the nomination. I think it could be riot inducing. Indeed. The long history of white women stealing elections from half-black men. God, when will it end? You live in Bushville, what do you care about race relations among the civilized? Do your attempts at humor ever succeed?
