Hee, sorry, wild hyperbole there. I'm referring to the primary results, playing out on the television. My mind's a bit fuzzy though, for some reason I ate half a box of spaghetti. Carb overload *groan*.

Who would have imagined the scenario that played out on the Republican side at the beginning of 2008? Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, and now Mike Huckabee have withdrawn from the race. All hail Republican candidate presumptive Senator John McCain!

For the Democrats, I'm guessing this is a bit of a letdown. Was the plan something along the side of 'hope Huckabee will be chosen, cos it's much easier to discredit him'? Attacking McCain, a former POW, is going to be a little tricky. After all, the last pot shot at the Senator resulted in a surge of support.

What I want to know is, if Obama wins the ticket, will he directly attack McCain? Will he finally get his hands dirty to win votes?

The reason I ask about Obama specifically is: a) it looks quite likely he'll win the ticket, and b) I already know the answer if Clinton somehow becomes the Democratic candidate. 'Shame on you!'

Anyway, enough of that. Who wants to listen to politics all day? I've got the latest Sur La Table catalogue in the mail today!
