I hope you saw the speeches each candidate made at the end of Super Tuesday, especially McCain and Obama.
* Huckabee announced it is a two man race, meaning himself and McCain. That, in itself, is proof of his madness. But, if he really believes it is a two man race, why does he constantly attack Romney and — as far as I’ve seen — *never* McCain? More madness or do his actions reveal it’s a two-against-one race? (Fair enough?) In the end, Huckabee made numerous references to sports and far too many biblical references. He is unworthy of being president and please, please, please consider that point when he becomes the VP-candidate for the ancient McCain (his 96 year-old mother not withstanding). Do not be charmed or fooled by Huckabee: Huckabee is every bit as dangerous as Duhbya.
* McCain spoke magnanimously of Huckabee, who has been McCain’s able assistant in trashing Romney. McCain’s polite words for Romney didn’t seem quite as sincere and his audience could barely suppress their jeers. Worse, McCain swore fealty to Capital-C Conservatism, even as ‘true’ conservatives do everything they can to destroy him. That’s not “straight talk” nor offering compromise: that’s lying, in front of the entire nation, to get elected. A great leader who will inspire a nation to do whatever it takes. (Four More Years? Duhbya Duhbya II/too.)
* Obama is the only one I heard speak — in his very first words — of the terrible storms in the central US (no metaphor). That’s Obama: truly compassionate and empathetic. I read a lot of commentary today from people who feel he says nothing. Don’t confuse your deafness with silence. Turn off your talk radio.
peace, mjh

Really? Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho? IDAHO, which teems with black Democrats? Say what you *think*, but stop lying.
