So I'm watching Hucks victory speech and I recognized Chuck Norris and I thought the guy on the left side of the screen looked familiar and sure enough it was our ex governor David Beasley. Beasley hails from this part of the woods. Pious but not particularly competent governor.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

One house directly across the road and it is still rural. More than that, urban.peacock2121 wrote:What if you can see one house before you cut the corn?
In rural areas you shouldn't be able to see anything other than corn until you cut the corn.
From the yard in front of my parent's house we could see the water towers of three towns but only one other house from about June until November. That's rural.
No matter where you go, there you are.

Well, no real surprises. I hit the Obama, Edwards, Clinton trifecta and the Huckster / Romney exacta but no real money on those payoffs.
I think that if Obama beats Clinton again in NH, it could (spelled C-O-U-L-D) spell trouble for Hillary. People who on the fence waiting to jump on the stronger candidate may start to see that she is not the favorite after all and jump on Obama's bandwagon. I think it's time for Edwards to pack it in. I don't see him with a shot to win any state right now. It's a two-horse finish to wire. Obama could be country-wide fan favorite and with Hillary's negatives so high, this could spell DOOM for the junior senator from New York.
On the other side, Romney needs to do well in NH in order to stay viable. The only other state I see the Huckster a force in would be here in SC. I am hoping that Thompson gives a better performance though. I am looking to Florida to see see how well Rudy does in the first state he is gunning for. It's still a pretty wide open race on this side and it will be interesting, for sure.

I seem to recall a discussion about Giuliani earlier, and me confidently stating that he could not win Indiana.
I know Indiana is extremely unlikely to have an impact on the Republican nomination, but there is no doubt in my mind that Huckabee most definitely could win here.
Unfortunately (for him and other Republicans) this looks like the first year since 1964 that Indiana might actually vote Democratic in the presidential election.
