For those keeping track of politics, Barack Obama has walloped Hillary Clinton, and Mike Huckabee has soundly thumped Mitt Romney. Ron Paul came a somewhat respectable fifth with 10% of those caucusing for the Republicans.
Key phrases bandied about – the old guard got voted out, the people claiming experience (the experience that put the country in the war in the case of the Democratic senators running for office) were trounced, and those claiming they bring real change (as one pundit put it, not just in policy, but a new cast of characters) were tonight’s winners.
Despite this, my prediction remains Obama vs Romney for the White House, and as usual, no matter who you vote for, you’ll get the same thing in the end – it’s just a matter of how smart or stupid they are in concealing the reins of the special interests controlling them (and I know Obama says that’s not true of him, but I simply do not believe it).
I believe the Republicans are out next year, and Obama will be #44.
On a side note, I think Ron Paul will run as an independent because his message has a lot of popularity, but not enough to win the nomination from one of the big 2 parties.
