Don't I Feel Like an Idiot

Wouldn't be the first time. (Actually, it's almost a habit). I wrote earlier about how Obama must win California and mentioned how Hillarah is beating Obama in Florida. That's true, but the Ds are boycotting FL this year because they moved up their primary earlier than the Ds wanted them to, so it's just a beauty contest until the general election. Kinda weird, but bad for Hillarah; good for Obama.

Another interesting factoid about our screwy primary process...California delegates are based on a district by district basis. That's not screwy, but two districts can have dramatically different population counts (from what I understand). So California will likely be salamied up by the candidates. *And* independents can vote in the D primary but not the GOP primary in California. So independents, who normally lean toward Obama amongst the Ds, become critical for Hillarah and Big O--and on a district by district basis. This could get really weird.

What will be the impact of Ted Kennedy on the campaign? And now there is speculation about a potential Gore endorsement of Obama before Super Tuesday. What would that do? This election is damn near bizarre at this point.
