The delegates are the ones that chose and if they decide to vote at their state conventions in June/July for another candidate, they can. I really wish all the candidates had stayed in the race longer. Especially Thompson.
I wish Thompson had thrown support to Romney. Thompson still has delegates out there committed to him... he needs to speak up.

A vote for Huckabee tomorrow will be a vote for McCain.

Up here in MA, or the Boston area to be more precise, I've seen almost exclusively ads for Obama. Since Hillary had a pretty good lead her, she seemed to have ignored the commonwealth, that changed today when she appeared in Worcester as Obama is closing in. Even as far as people putting up signs (which I haven't seen that many of anyway), Obama seem to have quite more.

Since there doesn't seem to be much of a contest on the Republican side (Romney predicted to win big), I haven't seen many ads for them, but McCain visited today anyway.

Missouri, the mid section...not any yard signs as in past elections. Must be waiting until after the conventions. Mostly Republicans around here. A few Democrats. People that I have spoken with seem to lean towards Sen. McCain. Democrats are leaning towards Obama. Many 'phone calls from Huckabee and McCain campaign people. None from the Democrats. I have no real feel for who will win here. Romney has some support here also. Me? I'm not telling. But, it will be Republican for sure.

Although I'd like to see Obama win California, I'm not confident that the people of this state, people who voted a republican governor in office, people who voted to ban affirmative action, would support Obama except in the most liberal areas. Clinton probably wins CA unfortunately. By how much is anybody's guess.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if Obama took CA.

I am so sick of hearing a vote for so and so, is a vote for so and so. Free thinking Americans can vote their conscience and if they think that so and so is best for the jobo, they should vote for him or her. Let the chips fall where they may. I do not get to work the polls until next week in Virginia. Good luck to all you poll workers out there. It should be busy and exciting
