    i think you are going to see a slow warming to mccain among the talking heads. since it appears he is going to be the gop nominee, guys like Rush might begin to say "you know, he's really not that bad...." enough people listen to these guys that if they continue to trash mccain on the airwaves every day, republicans might stay home in november and they will essentially give the white house to the dem candidate.

    i agree with everything said in the posts above me. they really didnt see Huckabee coming did they? lol if Mccain were smart, he would ask Huckabee to be his running mate, they could maybe sway some of the middle of the road, independents, and undecided.

    anyway, its starting to get interresting now. Obama and Clinton are so damn close its crazy.
    Peace, Love.

    I have absolutely loved listening to all the neocon brainwashers on the radio lately. The whole McCain thing is diving them nuts. Hannity especially, but Rush and the idiot on after hannity in NY, Levin. Hannity already did a bit where he facetiously claimed McCain has been right all along, and hannity has been wrong on all the issues. Hannity has lost any credibilty that he had before, which wasn't much. Originally, he was in love with rudy 9/11. He even hosted a fundraiser for him, but never disclosed it to his listeners or viewers. then he started leaning towards Thompson, briefly. Now, he's been in love with Romney, who will likely drop out within the next week, if not sooner. Huckabee has even called him out on his bullshit. Even posters on his message board are turning on him, and getting banned for it by the fascist moderator over there. very, very fun to watch.

    I doubt Huckabee will get anywhere near the ticket. He had a great night tonight, and you could tell how much he enjoyed smacking mitt Romney around. But in reality, he just won Southern, biblebelt states. These states will most likely go GOP no matter who the nominee is. Huckabee is the guy who said the planet is 6000 years old, and said we should change the Constitution to be more like the bible. Huckabee is relishing the role of Romney spoiler, but putting him on the ticket would guarantee a 40+ state victory for the Dems, at least in my opinion

    If Obama gets the nod, those southern states aren't in the GOP's pocket. With 80% of the black vote going his way and the south heavily populated by blacks, you could see a real shift in voting patterns in November.

    This is why the conventional wisdom of the dems that they have get florida, or they have to get Ohio and another swing state to take the national election. The rules have changed. Obama picked up alot of red states tonight, with high dem turn out. Conservatives could stay home on a Obama McCain ticket... but they will come out to vote against Hillary.

    I left off a "t"....makes me an idiot??? I understood your point and was trying to make one of my own. The comment was made in our house on Tuesday night that it seems like the Southern red-necks are more open to vote for a black man than the "blue-collar" voters of the North.

    P.S. If you think that the South is really all Republicans, you're wrong....State legislature is still majority Democrats (both houses) Lt. Gov is a Democrat and at least a couple of congressmen.

    I live in Atlanta and am well-aware of southern demographics. I was saying you were an idiot if you thought I was trying to imply that no one but black folks voted for Obama.
