They have no similar headline about Huckabee trouncing McCain in a similar three-state sweep (in KS, LA, WA). McCain: they guy we were told to nominate because he was "the most electable." "Humph!" says I.

We ought to just do away with elections and just let the drive-by media choose our leaders. They have chosen the candidates for us this year. Un-damned believable.

["The results on the Republican side provided their own surprise, particularly since Mr. Huckabee’s victories in Kansas came as Mr. McCain seemed headed to the nomination."]

Victories? Yet they only name Kansas. Yep, you are correct.

As Clinton was our first black president, Obama could be our first Islamic president. Please precious Jesus, save us from this fate.

Well, watching Clinton go down is what, a 17 year prayer? Well, including her husband, this eventuality has been a long time coming.

I know it’s not over, but I’m going to savor this moment!

I don’t believe he represents Islam but neither does he represent Christianity or any kind of secular goodness, either.

McCain has taken the lead in Washington.

Lousiana Republicans won't declare a winner unless one candidate gets 50%+. That won;t happen tonight.

That is one of the best analysis of Obama’s
beliefs. We need to peel back that onion to expose what
he really beleives.

Obama didn't simply beat the Clintons tonight. He crushed them. The margins were 68-32, 68-31 and 54-36. And it looks like we are looking for a repeat performance Tuesday night in Virginia, Maryland and D.C except D.C. will be more like 80-20.
