Tonight means that the mainstream media doesn't pick our candidate
Supposed "momentum" doesn't mean shit at this point. Sure the candidates will spin tonights results and the media will spin (which IMO were basically a tie) but that means a lot more when people in the upcoming states assume the race is over and don't vote.

But this race is far from over and people in the upcoming states know that and they will vote. Neither candidate can take anything for granted. They must earn each and every vote.

The next few weeks, and possibly the next few months are going to be quite exciting.

2. They did... funny thing the leading candidates for BOTH parties
are right wing... DLC is right wing and the GOP is even further to the right

What happened to the rest? Ok Biden was also DLC, but really old guard.

Kucinich and Edwards silenced

Gravel... our favoraite left wing libertarian (and in some ways loon...) essentially gone

Dodd never had a chance, I guess that thing called love of Constition scared the living daylights out of them

Ricgardson, he was also DLC, but at least had a clue about foreign affairs, and that also scared them.

So yes, they chose your candidates.

Me... holding my nose, as lesser of the two evils is active again... brought to you by GE... err MSNBC... and the rest of the gang
