Today could be one of the biggest days in the political history of our country and one thought keeps running through my goat brain- I wish Hunter Thompson hadn't shot himself in the face with a shotgun. Thompson was an admitted "political junkie" and would be having a hell of a time with the primaries this year.
I don't feel like looking it up - you'll have to take my word for it, but seldom have there been years where both parties were locked in tight races this late in the process at the same time.
Where we go from here is anyone's guess, but John "Die Hard" McCain is hoping to parlay his slim lead into the GOP nomination. His backroom deal promising Mike Huckabee the VP nomination in exchange for staying in a little longer, thereby hosing Mitt "the Mormon" Romney out of 100% of the religious-right vote, was a very successful tactic. One thing to remember about McCain - Limbaugh and Coulter hate him, so he is hands down the best candidate on that side of the aisle
As for the party that brought us the weekend, it is completely up for grabs. One year ago, this humble blogger thought Hillary would have sewn up the bid and began her run at a third term in the White House. But a thin fellow by the name of Obama has made this very interesting. The race is way to close to call, especially given the Democrats' bizarre primaries in which you can lose a state but still get some electoral votes and some states like Florida and Michigan where you can win and not get any votes.
Anyhow, if Hunter Thompson where alive he would be estatic and maybe even writing some entertaining stuff, which by the end of his life was not happening very often.
