Super Tuesday part 2

So today is finally the day of the Texas and Ohio Primaries, the day where we will probably know for sure who will win the Democratic nomination. If Obama wins both states Hillary will more than likely drop out. If Hillary wins both states then it will probably go to the convention and be decided there. If they split, my gut felling tells me that the Superdelegates will start to rally around Obama, and put enormous pressure on Hillary to drop out for the good of the party. Of course I have no delusions whatsoever that she will in fact drop out. She has proven over and over that she is only out for herself and doesn't give a rats ass about anyone else. Even the fact that the Republicans are so desperate for her to win should speak volumes about her chances in November.

My prediction is that they split Texas and Ohio, but Obama will win out slightly in total delegates. Very soon after you'll start to see the Superdelegates jumping over to support Obama and essentially forcing Hillary to pull out. The last thing the Dems want is a long drawn out fight that can divide the party, which will give John McCain and the Republicans plenty of time to build themselves up for November. I think worst case scenario for the Dems is a Hillary sweep because then this will be a very bitter end at the convention that will likely divide the party.

In real life news we had our first ultrasound recently and it turns out the baby is doing quite well so far. I could see its little arms and legs, and its spine, and I could even see its little heart beating. I have to admit it was pretty exciting. She is just about 3 months pregnant right now so the little guy will probably be arriving early September like the first estimated due date said. She also had successful eye surgery and is just about done recovering from it.

I also just wanted to make a comment about the blog in general. I stated before that I didn't want this to turn into some lame Myspace type journal where I write about every little thing I do, and I noticed that most of my posts are sorta like that. Well I guess thats how it is and I probably won't change much. The 1 or 2 people that actually read it seem to be interested in whats going on with me so I'll probably keep updates like I do now. That being said, I damn sure ain't gonna write about every little thing that I do. Frankly my life is not that exciting nor does is warrant more than a paragraph or two every week.
