It's Super Tuesday Time

It's just after 10:30pm eastern, and the Big Hill has taken a good chunk of states, and so has Obama. In what I consider to be a surprise, Huckleberry won like 4 states tonight, perhaps making the Republican race more interesting.

All the punditry are talking like Cali-forn-i-a is going to be the big question mark of the night, when I thought I'd heard somewhere that Obama had squeezed past the Big Hill in the polls. I was assuming Cali-forn-i-a would go for Obama, but the delegate count is highly important.

Clearly the delegate count is important, but while the pundit class may say the overall performance shows the momentum going Obama's way, I'd still disagree with that a bit. Obama had some massively good press the past week plus, between all his endorsements and big win in S. Carolina. For him to get all that press and still come up short on the Clinton lead, to me speaks a bit as to the limits of his appeal.

Finally, it's clear with the Huckleberry move, McCain hasn't sealed the deal. While I hate, despise, and would gladly drop a bomb on the right-wing media outlets (eg: Limburger-the Oxycontin Orifice, the stunningly hot, but mis-guided Laura Ingraham, and the Brainless-Twit-Colter), the blow-back that is coming at McCain shows the power they can wield. Dangerous mo-fo's.
