John McCain is riding high after his California win and seems to have managed to recapture the old Republican power base of fiscal conservatives, all his supposed moral failings have translated into the crumbs Romney and Huckabee are fighting over. They're only winning states they were going to win anyway, and are both failing to capture any new voting blocs. If McCain can capture the gulf coast as well as the North West, he has his nomination. Check out the NPR map.
CNN is providing a nice tally of yesterday's results. Full of upsets for Clinton, the democratic side is looking increasingly split. Clinton won California, but the Midwest is Obama country now. There doesn't seem to be a decisive winner in the South yet, Clinton losing key states like Alabama and Georgia, despite securing early endorsements. But it's still wide open, a decisive win in a big state in the next couple of weeks can boost either campaign.

first comment on the new post of the hottest blog of the moment! and the next moment! and many more moments after that! like, you know, a string of moments which together form, like, a second! and they form a minute! and so on! until there's months, no, YEARS worth of moments!
WOO HAH!
It's not so much hot anymore as tepid and growing cooler and cooler. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.
I really enjoy your writing. Thanks. you really are very talented.
I am for Obama by the way and I worked my butt off for him. I really hope he wins.
that recent comment was from me. Chris. My hope is that Obama is not so intrenched yet, so he will be influenced by the people who elected him. Hillary is a machine, and is way too entrenched. Howard Dean who I really like is head of the DNC, he has been working on eliminating red and blue states theories, and working for common ground.
I really doubt he was the one to tell Billary and obama to play nice. That would most likely be the DLCC-- which has always been a nasty place, which pushes "electability", not the peoples interests.
Chris
You're probably right about Dean, he's always come across as sincere, even when that's worked in his disadvantage. Thanks for the compliments, if I could make a decent living out of this I'd do nothing but.
You're working in the Obama campaign right now? Tell me about it. I can't really respond for while, I have to work tomorrow, but I will get back to you on that tomorrow evening, (Amsterdam time).
