chromodynamicsOn the Democratic side:
The debate in California last night was civil, and most analysts view it as close to a draw. Now that it looks like the Republican candidate is all but settled, hopefully any future debates will be just as peaceful.
Obama released that his campaign took in $32 million in January! Keep in mind that McCain raised $29 million for the entire year of 2007. Hillary and Obama outraised McCain, Romney, Huck and Paul in the 4th quarter of 2007, $49.6 million to $42.2 million.
Also of note, Obama was given the designation of most liberal Senator of 2007 by the National Journal, and Hillary was ranked 16th most liberal. Kerry was ranked most liberal the year before he ran, a quote that was used repeatedly by the Republicans during the campaign.
On the Republican side:
It looks like Romney and McCain have gone all-in with big ad buys in the Super Tuesday states.
It will be interesting to see what happens on the conservative right if/when McCain becomes the nominee. ETA: Ann Iamthedevil Coulter says she would support Hillary over McCain!
This article brings up a subject that I haven’t seen mentioned too much in the mainstream media – McCain’s age.
