It's basically over on the Republican side now that Romney's gone. I am personally disappointed. I didn't like McCain in 2000, and that was before his name began regularly appearing on legislation next to almost every liberal democrat in the Senate. Oh well! At least we'll still have interesting debates as Huckleby kisses McCain's butt in an effort to secure the VP nomination and crazy uncle Paul keeps failing to take his meds.
The Democratic nomination is still up for grabs. Though Hillary is leading, Obama is favored by the gamblers (59-41). If Hillary pulls it off, I think McCain has a decent chance. Obama, however, will run circles around angry old-man McCain in the general election. McCain's been the media darling because he was the "liberal" Republican. When he's the conservative candidate, the media will turn on him at every opportunity (the idea of any Democrat as president triggers their most primal pleasure centers.)
Enough politics - maybe I'll get a late start on lent and give up political primaries.
Last Sunday was Fast Sunday, and my wife and I choose to fast from lunch Saturday to lunch Sunday. So after running some errands on Saturday afternoon, we decided to let the boys choose what they wanted for dinner. My older son said "hamburgers" and my younger son said "hot cereal." My wife and I offered to get White Castle burgers for them. My older son was overjoyed; however, my younger son still said he wanted hot cereal. OK, so on the way to White Castle my younger son was bothering his brother, so I said "if you don't stop hitting him I'll get you a burger and you won't get hot cereal!" That did the trick. He was well-behaved the rest of the drive and happily ate his hot cereal and fries (my younger son would never give up fries.)
Who knew that a burger was such a powerful threat?
