Nevada Caucus

Nevada Caucus results make this nomination even more exciting. Romney and Clinton pulled out victories, but Nevada did not have the hype attached to it that South Carolina had. Why? For the republicans, Nevada had more delegates to win than South Carolina, and with the process looking more and more like a lead-up to a brokered convention, every delegate counts.

South Carolina Primary

South Carolina is an interesting state. In recent history, South Carolina has been a good predictor of republican nominees, but this year seems to be breaking all stereotypes; nothing is going according to a predictable plan. McCain won, but not hugely, and according to the talking heads, the race is still wide open. I can only hope that it is.

New Hampshire Primary

Well, well, well. New Hampshire has spoken. The democrats want Hillary and the republicans want McCain. So, let the race continue. Let me just say that I don't think either of these candidates is an unusual statesman.

The Iowa Caucus

Iowans have spoken. In Iowa, the Democrats want Barack Obama and the Republicans want Mike Huckabee. But that's just Iowa. What will the rest of the United States say?
