The big news tonight is Hillary’s lead in the Pennsylvania primary, but the more important factor is by how much. The news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, but the critical component is whether she won by enough to sway the tide of their party to choose a candidate.

Oh magic eight ball - “outlook not so clear”?

Rudy and Edwards Bow Out

Both Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards have announced the end of their run for president. I was surprised to learn that Giuliani fared so poorly in Florida even though he put so much effort into campaigning there. I read that Rudy is now backing McCain, so it looks like McCain is going to continue doing well. Personally, I like what I know about McCain, but that isn’t saying much.

Some news agencies are implying that John Edwards’ campaign focus on poverty shows that the American public doesn’t care about the state of poverty in our nation, but I think its a bit of a stretch the draw that conclusion.

I haven’t heard much from or about Huckabee or Dr. Ron Paul lately, but I did notice that Dennis Kucinich has also dropped out of the race.

The results are still coming in, but so far it appears that Senators McCain and Clinton, with Senator Obama and former Governor Romney following closely.

I’m surprised that Ron Paul didn’t fare better in New Hampshire. The stories about the voters in New Hampshire always describe them as independent thinkers, which I interpreted to mean that they would respond well to a unique candidate like Dr. Paul.
