Political weekend!
So by now, everyone (I hope) knows that Clinton won Nevada, Romney won Nevada and McCain won South Carolina. I watched some of the Nevada democratic caucusing and it looked like the people there were having a lot of fun doing it. I still kick myself for not going up to New Hampshire for the primary just to see what its like.
My thoughts on this weekend’s elections are, it looks like Clinton is a lot more than just a “come back kid” or a crying woman. Looks like she has something real but South Carolina is going to reveal a lot before we get to Super Tuesday. Romney’s win makes him a LOT more viable. But he has now won in three places where he was favored: Michigan where he is from and Wyoming (yes remember that?) and Nevada which has a large Mormon population. McCain’s victory makes him also very viable and Huckabee less and less so. What was with Chuck Norris talking about how old McCain is. I am not a McCain supporter but don’t see how an ex super hero has anything to do with age of a candidate.
And now I’m watching the debate in South Carolina and can’t believe all of the fighting! The Nevada debate was a lot more civilized and productive. I wanted to use this weekend and debate to help me make my decision but tonight is turning me off from all of them. I’m going to send in my ballot tomorrow though so hopefully it will get better.
Sidenote, Obama has been pretty funny tonight especially when asked if he though President Clinton was the first black president. And also his commentary about how Edwards wanted the votes of white men…hilarious. It will be nice to have someone in the White House with a real sense of humor.
