chromodynamicsIf you did not watch A Daily Show last night, I highly recommend going to the website and watch the first 7 minute clip. Jon Stewart discusses Romney’s departure speech in what I think is the best work he’s done since he came back from hiatus.
On the Democratic side:
I forgot to mention this yesterday, but a group of Obama advisors did a prediction of how the races would go from here, and came up with almost a tie in pledged delegate counts for Obama and Hillary, meaning the race would be decided by the super-delegates. (I sure hope this isn’t the case.)
Though the nomination race is still on, the Democrats are already gearing up to start hammering McCain.
In the money race, Clinton has raised $7.5 million since Feb. 1st (it seems releasing that she gave her campaign a loan has helped in turn made people aware that she needed money). Of course, Obama has raised that same amount in the 36 hours following Tuesday. Incidentally, McCain raised about the same amount during the entire month of January (Obama has over $30 million and Hillary raised $13.5 million).
On the Republican side:
Romney withdrew to boos at the CPAC, and McCain made appeals for party unity at the same conference (and also to boos).
Huckabee will continue in the race, and looks forward to Texas. It will be interesting to see if he can rally the right-wing.
