Tournament Results

Yes, it is. Just like a tournament. And why not? We treat our politics like a sport. Team Blue! Team Red! But! Before you get the showdown, you've got to have the elimination tournament.

The press has a strange role here. They obviously pick favorites no matter what the voting populace actually indicates, and so it makes for a rather large disconnect to watch and read the news. At any rate, McCain and Clinton took Florida, and as you probably already know, Mr. 9/11 and John Edwards will be dropping out. Funny that Mr. 9/11 was the darling of the press not too long ago, and John McCain was a big loser.

So, okay, John McCain is still a big loser, but he's doing very well in the tournament. It wasn't that long ago that he was way down and his campaign was broke, which makes me wonder why anyone would drop out of the race after seeing just how low a contestant can go and make a major come-back.

It appears that the press is loathe to give Hillary her dues on winning Florida by a very tidy margin. They get to downplay it because Florida was stripped of delegates. Remember now, it's a game. No matter if the majority of the people vote for you, you've got to have those delegates. Or, in the case of the presidential election, the Supreme Court. But, since Bill's feet of clay trod all over Hillary's campaign and the Kennedys crowned Obama heir to Camelot, I think the press has found their prince. McCain will have his work cut out for him.

Somebody tell Ron Paul he's not here.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
