Then there were two

McCain’s win last night was huge for him. It put him in the delegate lead and knocked the repub most like him (Giuliani) out of the race. It will be interesting if he will be able to hold on through super tues… it wouldn’t surprise me to see Huck become a player again either, it wouldn’t surprise me to see McCain or Romney sow things up either.

Hill got a little push last night in her “win”. It will be interesting to see how the media plays it out. It will also be interesting if Hill continues to call for the reinstatement of the delegates from FL and MI breaking her pack with the rest of the candidates and the DNC before the election. If she gets the nomination she should make Rick Flair her vice president, cause she is the dirtiest player in the game… Whoooooo!

Get Hillary some kleenex

Yaum al-Ahad 19th Muharram 1429

Obama’s big win in SC yesterday gave him a nice lead in the race for delegates, and it also gave him some momentum going into Super Tuesday. I don’t think anyone saw Hillary being down 28 percentage points. Maybe Iceberg Edwards will get out of the race and will no longer split, or siphon the anti Hillary vote. Obama picked up 25 delegates and that gave him a 15 Delegate lead. We will see if this shift is permanent, but I think that if Edwards drops out Obama will take Super Tuesday.

On the Repub side, McCain is the media darling, but Romney has put himself in a nice position. If Romney can hold through super Tuesday he will probably be the repub’s man. Huckabee is still in this, but he needs to win again. Both Florida and Maine will be huge as they will set the stage for super Tuesday. I was surprised that Fred Thompson pulled out, I thought that he would do better later on and might be able to shake things up and make a better case for him to be vice president. Rudy played himself, no one outside of Florida even knows he is in the race, and if he does win Florida, he will need to carry some more states in Super Tuesday.

Super Tuesday maybe Romneys for the taking even if he doesn’t win in any of the states, if they continue to split to delgates up he just has to keep the lead.

I don’t know which way the repubs will go. I feel that Romney is going to be their canidate.

I am also getting the feeling that that Huckabee will drop out and run as a 3rd party candidate, splitting the repub vote, and putting Obama in the white house.

Iowa has spoken

Iowa has spoken and it seems they want change. I am surprised that not only Obama came out on top, but he did so clearly. Edwards is still in this thing too, and Clinton, what a bruise to her ego. I think the negative campaigning and the sleaziness has finally caught up with her. It will be interesting if the media decides to freeze her out like Giuliani. It has not bee a good month for Bill and Hillary. If she doesn’t recover in New Hampshire she may be done. Fred Thompson had a good night, he still is in it a little bit, beating out McCain. McCain will be stronger in New Hampshire, but the race will be Huckabee’s to loose. Romney is done. He had a huge hurdle to climb because of his beliefs, but the negative campaigning really hurt him. Negative campaigning usually makes the candidate look power hungry, and that is just was Mitt and Hillary are and the voters in Iowa saw that. If Mitt and Hillary don’t comeback in New Hampshire they will both be in trouble. Especially for Hillary if John Edwards gains ground. Where is Rudy? Even Ron Paul did better then him. I will just call him humpty dumpty..

This is truly the only time where the public gets feedback on a President, before the circus of a national election starts. To me, Iowa choosing Huck and Obama is a sign that America sees that it is getting screwed up and is looking for change. But, electing a Washington outsider is just a small step. Remember that Bush was an outsider too.

Where’s Rudy — Short Circuit 3

Yaum al-Khamis 25th Dhu al-Hijjah 1428

Bismillah ar Rahmaan ar Raheem,

Tonight is the night of the Iowa Caucus. At the beginning of this race I thought that Giuliani looked the most presidential but now he is off the radar. Last night on ABC they only profiled the current big six. My guess is that since there are only 3 real democrat candidates they just balanced it off with 3 republicans, but the republican nomination is a mixed can of worms. Unfortunately, until John Edwards can prove otherwise, Hillary is the lead democrat. With the Republicans I will still go with Giuliani, but I am leaning towards Huckabee, because he does appear Clinton-esque. After the smoke of the Caucus fades tonight things may look a little clearer, but there will be allot of fog left.

As for the candidate I support, or who I think the Muslims should support… that is bigger then a post. Until I am able to write it, find my version of Presidential Products, and ask Weird Al to do an El DeBarge parody, “Where’s Rudy”…lol, that could be on the Halaal Mix Tape vol. 2.
