Welcome to the fringe

Feel free to peruse my musings and commentary, and feel free to leave a comment if you like, dislike, or are just amused by something.
I try to cover a little bit of everything, but right now Politics holds my fancy.. Especially since the Rockies are playing so lousy at the moment.

The Google advertisement links below may advocate political positions that this author does not endorse.
But it is the price we pay for the possibility of making a little coin now and again. (like that has been happening).

One Super day down.. One to go

Well the Super bowl is over, and the Giants pulled off an upset as big as any of the great upsets in Super bowl history. Now we move on to Super Tuesday, where two candidates will try and pull off their own super upsets.

John McCain coming back from his near death canadacy not just two months ago, will try and pull ahead from Mitt Romney, and place himself in the clear "front runner" position. Most of the signigicant polls show McCain growing his gap on Romney in major states, and this could spell the death knell for all the cash that Romney has put into his own campaign.

Barack Obama, on the Democrat side, has nearly erased all the pre primary lead that Hillary Clinton had when she was dubbed "inevitable", and has started to even out fund raise the NY Senator. While I don't think there will be any "front runner" established by Super Tuesday, Obama can clearly show that he has the pull to make a viable Democratic Nominee by staying close or pulling out a few more wins than Clinton. Neither will be any where close to the number of delegates needed to assure themselves of a first ballot win at the convention. And this race could easily work it's way to an open convention.

There will be some last minute dashes and stumps today and early tomorrow, but essentially, the minds are probably made up by the voters at this time, and all we can do is sit back and wait for the results.

Get the pop corn out and the comfy chair it should be a heck of an evening tomorrow :)
