Super Bowl and Super Tuesday

It was a very good week for me concerning these two events. First on Sunday the undefeated, arrogant, and wholey undeserving Patriots got their just desserts by losing to the Giants 17-14 in the Super Bowl. It was a great day in sports because the Patriots were caught cheating earlier in the year, and they have repeatedly displayed poor sportsmanship and disrespect for the league and its fans. Justice was definitely served on this day.

As for Super Tuesday, it turned out to be a pretty damn good day for Obama, better than was expected. As it turns out he took 13 of the 22 states and is now in a dead heat with Hillary, even though he was expected to fall behind by a fairly significant margin. In fact if it wasn't for Hillary's big win in California, Obama would probably have the nomination wrapped up by now.

The focus of each Campaign has now changed, with Hillary cutting back on her overall campaigning and focusing on the "Big states" that still remain such as Texas and Pennsylvania. I think she is banking everything on winning these few states to secure the nomination. Either way Obama is in a very good position right now and has a very good chance to take the nomination.

On the Republican side their nominee has been pretty much decided. With his big day on Super Tuesday, and with his main competitor dropping out today, the road is clear for John McCain to win the Republican nod. Personally I think he is the only Pubby that has a shot in hell of winning and I wouldn't even mind it if he did win.

I'm looking forward to the next few weeks, the Democratic race is gonna go down to the wire and I think whoever gets the nod will have a very good shotting at winning the White House.
