Not a fan of political dynasties
Tiny Cat Pants:
I’m voting for Obama on Tuesday. It’s not because I think Clinton would be a bad president. I think she’ll be a fine president. If she gets the votes and is in the general election, I’ll happily vote for her, dancing and in-your-facing included.
But I can’t lend her my support [...]

Where will Huckabee stand tomorrow?
Oatney says he’ll still be hanging on:
One thing that can quickly be gleaned from watching the morning shows today is that the pundits really don’t have a clue what is going to happen tonight-and I am not comfortable making predictions about the overall winner, because delegate counts make as much of a difference in the [...]
