I wonder if the Democrats feel better about tonight than I do.

Possible outcome of a 2008 election with a 

third party run
Possible outcome of a 2008 election with a third party run against the McCain-Huckabee-Soros-Clinton-Obama Cabal.

There are a lot of angry conservatives tonight who were denied their third choice.

For all Romney's faults, he's shown himself to be a man of class and decency who doesn't delight in pi**ing on the base. He's also shown he can organize, raise money and compete.

A third party candidacy could result in a deadlocked election where McCain-Huckabee would have to make meaningful concessions to win. At the very least, it would give conservatives someone to show up and vote for at the top of the ticket to save conservatives down ticket.

Intensity of blue(R)/red(D)/green(3) shades indicate probable percent of vote.

A strong showing in California later on tonight, combined with his victories so far, will likely put Obama over the top on delegates come Wednesday morning and make him officially the Democrat front-runner.

It's kind of like your mother-in-law driving off the cliff in your new car.

The Democrats are in a win win all around. Whether it’s Clinton, Obama, Huck or McCain. On at a good chunk of issues they’ll get leftist ideas en masse.

This isn’t good news. Hitlary needs to start pulling out the big guns.

Does anyone realize that Colorado is being presented as a super Tuesday state when all they are doing is caucusing to pick candidates for the August primary ballot?

Are there other states that are presented incorrectly also?

Yes, I am, but Romney wasn't it.

I have no words. Pure perfection.

Okay, I had two words, you get my point.

Hillary won 75% of the Hispanic vote in NY. If that follows in CA (and AZ), Obama has no chance.

I talked to my Brother in law (I’ve tried, but he’s too young to realize his errors) about the Dem caucus he went to. He said they actually counted by raised hands for the vote. I couldn’t believe that, and can’t imagine any Republican caucus site of any size in the state doing the same. I know the one I attended in Johnson County was a similar size, but had paper ballots that had to be affixed with a verification sticker in order to be counted.
