Democratic race will continue; McCain is clear GOP winner

February 5th, 2008 at 09:15pm Chuck Sweeny

I think when Super Tuesday is all counted, Hillary Clinton will have bested Barack Obama in the number of states won. However, because Democrats apportion their delegates, the battle will continue into the remaining primaries. I suspect it may end up at the Democratic Convention in Denver. If the nominee is brokered by un-elected Super Delegates, who are old time party bosses and elected officials, democracy will be the loser.

The Republicans, because they feature winner-take-all primaries, have decided John McCain is their leading candidate with the momentum to win the nomination in St. Paul. The big question for McCain is, can he win back the party’s right-wing base? And what will the conservative radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Hugh Hewitt do now? If they continue to bash McCain, they risk alienating enough Republican voters from McCain to tip a close election to the Democrats.

    Dear Chuck Computer:

    Sorry to do this to you but I have to dismantle your oh so clever “Delmarva” creation. Delaware’s dems voted tonite. Do you just write stuff that sounds funny without doing any sort of checking? Ioh wait- you’re a computer. guess it doesn’t matter. You can just call it “marva”.

    Yes I was wondering about that “Del-Marva” thing too. Delaware voted on Feb. 5. I even wondered if Delaware would vote again next week just because Chuck says so. I mean can’t believe that he would be actually wrong about something!

    It’s actually DC Marva.
