Ok, Romney chose to leave the race for the presidency after not having a good showing in the Supper Tuesday primaries. McCain seemed to be the big winner out of Supper Tuesday. Huckabee came out with a surprise in winning Southern strong Evangelical voting states on the Republican side. It seems that McCain has it locked in for the nomination on the republican ticket, but he is going to have a hard time winning without the right wing Evangelical movement that elected both Reagan and the Bushes! If they stay home on November 4th he will loss! His only hope is that Huckabee joins him on the ticket as his VP and that Evangelicals will then support the McCain/Huckabee ticket. It seems that is what is working in the republican party towards! Not that I would support it! I don't really care for Huckabee myself! What scares me in that presidency is that McCain is in his 70's, and I know they say his mother is in her 90'sand still out and around on her own, but that speaks for the women in the McCain family not the men! How old was his father when he died? Do we really want Huckabee to be president? Huckabee would be set up to run for the presidency in 4 years, even if McCain lives that long! For this reason alone, I could probably vote for a Clinton in the White House again.
It is because of this I am hoping and praying that Obama is the Democratic nominee.
Not to the money issue. After the last poll closed on Supper Tuesday to the next day, Obama raised over 5 million dollars. By that time Hillary had only raised approx. 1.5 million and had to give her campaign and influx of cash by loaning it $5 million of her own money! Do we see a problem here? That gave her the ability to say the next day that they had raised approx 6.5 million and them later in the week a little over 7 million, of course 5 million came from her!
We have three primaries coming upon this next Tuesday that if pollsters are right, and they have been wrong in the past, and Hillary is sure hoping they are wrong this time around too! Obama will take all three, D.C., Maryland and Virgina. Mean while this weekend on Saturday we will find out about Louisiana Primary 67 delegates, Nebraska Caucus 31 delegates, Washington Caucus 97 delegates, Virgin Islands Other 9 delegates. Obama seems to do much better in caucus states too.
Maine Sunday Feb.10th, Hawaii and Wisconsin Feb. 19th, And then it is the next big Tuesday, March 4th with:
Ohio Primary 161 delegates
Rhode Island Primary 32 delegates
Texas Primary 228 delegates
Vermont Primary 23 delegates
Texas is going to be the big prize but by them if Hillary hasn't won any thing big, Texas may not help her, but bring it to a draw, where neither has the delegates it needs to win the nomination out right!
Wyoming Saturday March 8th,
Mississippi Tuesday March 11th,
Pennsylvania Primary 188 delegates April 22nd,
Oh, yea, now in the mean time, we could have caucus's in Michigan and Florida to chose delegates and give Obama time to visit and campaign there, so he could take a large majority of those delegates, which is Hillary's worst nightmare! She wants the delegates that have already been chose for her, to be seated, which won't or better not happen, as that would through the next presidential primary season in 2012? out the door with the National DNC and it's rules, and they will have no power or any meaning or control over when states hold their caucus's or Primaries. You will see 7 to possibly even 20 states vie for one of the front spots to hold their caucus or primary earlier or near the Iowa caucus!
So we watch Feb. 10th to see how it goes, and if thereis a clear winner by that time! We hope so, and we hope it is Obama! Obama will be the hardest for the republicans to beat! And Hillary could just inspire the republicans to get out to vote in record numbers to just voe against her!
