And that just about sums up the last two weeks in Iowa, New Hampshire and Wyoming (Yes Wyoming has had their Republican
primary already to, Rommey won 8 Delegates BTW)

Actually, the process of the primaries at this point is far more interesting than who's currently winning (it won't
matter until Feb 5).

May I quote ESPN's "TMQ"?
Senators Joe Biden and Chris Dodd dropped out of the presidential nomination marathon last week, just hours after a nonbinding caucus vote by a tiny percentage of the residents of a small state. Why do so many people, especially United States senators, pursue presidential nominations they are all but certain not to win? Here are TMQ's theories: • Running for the nomination allows you to spend an entire year giving speeches in which you jab your finger into the air and proclaim, "When I am president of the United States, I will … " • Senators observe the other senators running for president and think, "I can bloviate just as well as that idiot, so I might as well run too." • The highest priority for senators is avoiding making decisions on legislation. When campaigning, you have the perfect excuse! It would seem a distraction that so many improbable candidates offer themselves in the primaries, TMQ suspects the front-runners actually like this. Because network news shows had to go through the motions of interviewing and profiling Dennis Kucinich, Fred Thompson and other long shots, news shows could not home in on finding the flaws of the few who might actually win. Also, whoever ultimately gets the two parties' nominations will appear to have defeated a huge field and can boast of winning against incredible odds. Comment (1)
