Very interesting race;
My opinion
I see Huckabee probably pulling a stunner against McCain.
McCain playing the continued Iraq war card too much for the general mass of voters, and his economy/immigration policies could be his undoing -especially with 'conservatives'.
Huckabee has a chance if he doesn't overdo his evangelical pandering.

Obama needs to stay cool like he's doing, since it seems Clintons [herself and teamplay with Billy] have run out of effective metods to knock Obama off balance. They both did well in their own rights on the past super Tuesday, but Clinton's financial woes has exposed a vulnerability in her show of stability.

Obama vs. McCain in final race = Obama win imo. McCain praying Clinton is seen as his challenger.....
So in this scenario
If repub voters see Obama pulling ahead of Clinton, I think Huckabee will be favoured more and more by repubs.

I voted in the Potomac Primary yesterday and was interviewed for the exit poll. It was interesting. Since it's a multi-platform primary, you have to declare yourself (out loud) when you show your ID. To be honest, I was going to vote for Obama just to stick it to Clinton, lol. But since I had to declare myself, I just went Republican. I think McCain will end up against Obama. I really liked McCain back in the 99-2000 when he went up vs Bush, but he's gotten really extra soft over the past few years. I'm not digging his Amnesty program. Huckabee has some great ideas, but he's too heavily tied to religion, which doesn't go well with me. In the end, I voted for Huckabee because I want to see the US lose the federal tax and go with the Consumption tax. How great would that be? The more you buy, the more you pay! That way, the illegals that have been avoiding taxes for all these years will finally be paying something for this country. Also, the rich won't have all the donation loopholes, etc. Everyone is taxed the same, makes sense. All and all, I wouldn't mind seeing Obama win it all... there's a lot of mystique around him and I think things have been messed up so much in the past 20 years, everyone is willing to gamble.

Questions they asked me coming out of the poll;

Who did I vote for?
Age
Sex
Race
Income
Political past
Kids
Own a house
Where did I attend school
What kind of car do I drive
Profession
Why did I vote for the person
Who was my second choice

it kept going and going.

I'm wondering if Hillary will pull her ace in the hole with the Super Delagates and somehow get the nomination. If so, it will taint her and leave her wide open for more public distaste.



Hmm, I may vote for her in the primary.

Sure wish we had a real conservative running on the Republican side.

In her faltering campaign desperation, Hillary is bent on debating Obama over certain issues..... she better be careful what she's hoping for -as in to catch him off guard regarding economic policies - she clearly underestimates his preparedness in covering himself in this area. Apparently Obama has been doing his homework to counter any wild swinging at him from Clinton and [looks like] McCain on the 'business' side of things.
