Congratulations to all three Democrats

Congratulations Hillary, Obama & McCain! McCain is to be congratulated, he has played his cards well. He's the only candidate of either party that was able to hang back until the time he chose to "come out". He bided his time (and money) until Super Tuesday, and it served him well. With no spoiler on the Democrat side, Hillary and Obama come out of it about where they went in. Sure, they both have more states (and more importantly) more delegates, but niether emerged any better off than the other one. Where color or gender didn't effect the Democrat race much, religion absolutely effected the Republican primaries. The Bible Belt rejected Romney outright, throwing their support for Huckabee. That makes Huckabee look good, but does nothing towards November. Conservatives still won't like McCain, but Huckabee's record doesn't back his claim of being a conservative either. Huckabee is doing a great job of playing McCain's toadie. He will be well rewarded if McCain does win the White House. The problem is, he's the only conservative who will get anything out of a McCain administration. McCain has always held conservatives with contempt and most conservatives return the sentiment. It seems McCain's penchant for uniting only applies to those on the other side of the aisle. But what do you expect from a RINO who actually considered the idea of being Kerry's runningmate. The message that came out of Super Tuesday is, Democrats are still majorly split between the two front runners and the Republican Party isn't interested in what Conservatives have to say. What the means to the country will play out over the next rounds of primaries. It also means that my state (Wisconsin) will play a heavier part this primary season.
