he commentariat says South Carolina is not as important as it once was – heretofore always forecasting the Presidential nominees – so Saturday’s Republican primary, while important was more a spring board for the Florida primary on January 29th than the harbinger it once was. Nevertheless it was a big win for the Lazarus-like McCain that staggered Huckabee and wounded Romney and terminally so, Thompson. Thompson has been branded McCain’s cat’s paw and while that seems fallacious he should drop out as Duncan Hunter did Saturday.
John Words Runs out of…..
Words and Money.
And what happens in Vegas may not stay in Vegas.
John Edwards is the third man in a two person race.
He did say he got his BUTT kicked in Vegas, and it wasn’t even by George Bush.
Hillary Understands How the West Was Won
Hillary overcame the casino workers endorsement of Obama in Nevada, to secure a real but not overwhelming win. Her voice was strained but she is definitely on a roll in and after the casino state.
After the Clinton and Obama first tier win in Nevada, the other tier of Edwards, Uncommitted and Kucinich picked up a few votes, but the Democratic race is narrowing to Clinton and Obama, with the odds in favor of Hillary and the Clinton machine.
Despite that, the recent political incorrectness over Martin Luther King may be a long shadow on the rivalry to play out next week in the Dem Primaries in South Carolina, then Florida and of course followed by Super Tuesday states.
Non candidates are observing carefully, looking for an opening. Chief amongst them is our very own Chief Hypocrite who is one of the less well know candidates feeling the pull of the disenchanted. The Chief, however, is most worried when he notices that Bill Clinton continues to show enthusiastic support for the “best candidate he (Bill) has ever known”. Even the Chief has limitations.
McCain CAN and DID
Eight years after George Bush torpedoed the John McCain campaign for president In South Carolina, JohnCan bested the rest of the Republicans, with Huckabee coming in a very close second and Romney placed, while others, maybe showed or not.
Ducan Hunter of California, announced he would drop out of the race. Bets are that he will back McCain.
While McCain bagged, meaning avoided rather than winning, the Nevada caucus probably due to the high number of Mormons in Nevada who would vote for Mitt Romney, he is well positioned for Florida and Super Tuesday.
