Clear as Mud

We’ve been working on an angle to wrap-up Super Tuesday and really can’t come up with one. Regardless of what side of the aisle you sit on, the political drama up to this point has been pretty compelling. Edwards and Giuliani’s departures from the race, Bill and Hillary double-teaming Barack, Obama playing the race card, Hillary playing the female card, Romney playing the Conservative card, McCain playing the flip-flopper card, Ron Paul playing the Ross Perot card, and Ted Kennedy french-kissing Obama at American University. These are just some of events that stick out in our minds.

We’re going to continue to try and keep our coverage down the middle while encouraging you to be an informed voter, rather than most of the populace who tend to vote for personality and “feelings”.

Strategically, there are two (of many) storylines to continue to watch. On the Republican side, it will be interesting to see if the party can come together amidst the various factions which are pulling it apart at the seams. On the Democratic side, the touchy-feely approach to the last Democratic debate appeared to be a good strategy for the party as a whole. A nasty side effect for the Clinton campaign was Obama being elevated to a higher level of legitimacy amidst the back-patting and cordiality. After this past Tuesday, the Clinton’s will be forced to take the gloves off once again and this time do it without being accused of being racists.

If you weren’t able to vote in your state’s primary or aren’t registered in time for an upcoming primary, we encourage you to make sure you get registered in time for the general election. In case your keeping score at home, here’s the current delegate standing courtesy of MSNBC.com:

You’re welcome.
