Mike Huckabee: B+: Has shown that many in the GOP are not readdy to accept McCain yet.

John McCain: C: Loss two out of three states. So what? He's still probably our next President.

Ron Paul: D+: Decent showing in Washington. Other than that nothing.

Hillary Clinton: D: Still the favorite to win the nomination, but it is far from 100%.

Obama for President

With the Washington caucuses coming up on Saturday and the Democratic nomination still up for grabs, I think it is finnaly time to declare my support for someone. I have held off until now since at the begining of the race I twice supported candidates without careful enough thought (Even Bayh and Bill Richardson). I love experience (I may still vote McCain in the General) and while Clinton has the edge in that catagorie, and I think Clinton would probably be a better President at least at the begining than Obama, for the sake of party unity I must chose Obama. I don't care that conservatives, or even many independents don't like Clinton what scares me is the hatred in which many democratic voters feel for Clinton, and if we are divided we would be handing the white house over to the Republicans. Ifeel the stakes are too big to do that. Clinton and Obama are similar enough on the issues, that it is a wash. So who to vote for goes down to experience (favored Clinton) and electability (favored Obama). At this point Obama's electability outweighs Clinton's experience.

Super Tuesday Grades

John McCain: A+: has all but won the GOP nomination, and will probably be our next President, short of some unforseen happenings, (which is still quite possible).

Hillary Clinton: A-: Won a solid victory and has the inside track for the nomination, but she did not put Obama away.

Mike Huckabee: B: Won five States when he was only expected to win Arkansas.

Barack Obama: C+: Survived, but lop sided losses in NJ NY and CA makes him a long shot.

Mitt Romney: C-: Should drop out.

Ron Paul: D: Tuesday was his best chance to win a state, and e didnt even come close.
