Congratulations to John McCain for winning the Republican nomination. I disagree with a lot of his politics but I respect the man. And fox knows the country and the world would be a thousand times better off today if he'd won the 2000 nomination and we were just coming out of eight years of a McCain administration rather than Bush.
The Democratic primary is still riding the razor, with Obama winning Vermont, Clinton winning Ohio and Rhode Island, and (as of the moment I write this) Texas still too close to call.
I do hope Obama pulls it off, and so far the signs are good. I do stil believe that he has a much better chance of winning the general election.
It's funny, when I caucused in Seattle a while ago I volunteered to be an alternate pledged delegate for Obama. That sounds impressive until you realize that basically 60-percent of the state of Washington would have to come down with the bird flu or the dreaded monkey pox before I'd have a chance to be chosen as a national delagate to the DNC Convention in Denver this summer. But who knows, it's a strange world.
