political observations
Its been an exciting few days in the world of politics, and most of you know how excited I am by elections. Who knew Hillary would be able to come back that way in Iowa, or Edwards wouldn't make a real dent in Iowa. But I have some thoughts so far.
I'm glad Hillary won in NH. I will gladly support either candidate come November, but Obama needs to hone his campaigning. If he is to become the nominee (not saying he is not saying he isnt), he doesn't really have any campaign skills. He won the senate nomination after one of his opponents had to bow out after a sex scandal. His main opponent then became a guy who bowed out after a sex scandal leaving him to run against of all people Allan Keyes (who once had a great show called Allan Keyes is Making Sense... and the inside joke was he was the only one on the show who didn't make sense). So with that behind him if he had an easy coronation, he'd lose to a more skilled campaigner in the GOP side. So he needs to lose a few of these things. On the other hand Hillary needed this to get more in touch with her emotions.
Some other winners and losers:
Loser: Edwards- After campaigning for four years in Iowa, even though everyone thinks he's very nice, came in barely second place.
Loser: Romney- It sucks to be the victim of religious discrimination, but you are.... Remember that next time you oppress gay people.
Winner:Super Tuesday- Finally a chance for more than two states to select the president.
Loser- polls: they still can't get it right.
Winner: John McCain- while this may be a re-match of 2000 for him, he shows that he can still be an elder statesman
Loser- Rudy Giuliani- Technically he's not campaigned rigorously in these places, but his showings are abysmal. If Ron Paul does equally good, that doesn't say much for you chances.
