We are one week out of Super Tuesday and I’m betting it will seem like a month. John Edwards is planning some kind of special poverty speech today that might be part of an exit strategy for him. Barack Obama is courting his endorsement, which would make life very interesting in the 22 states voting next week. An Edwards endorsement seals Minnesota for Obama, but the rest of the country is a wild card to me. I still don’t understand the appeal of Hillary Clinton to traditional Democrats but she has a lock on core interest groups at this time.
Meantime, MinnesotaBrown’s Republican endorsee John McCain won Florida last night and might be on his way to a Super Tuesday rout. Mitt Romney still has a shot and Mike Huckabee will win some states, but only a collapse of McCain support would allow them to win the GOP nomination at this point. I still don’t know if I could bring myself to vote Republican. An Obama nomination would make the point moot. A Clinton win? Hmm. Then I (and millions of independent-minded Democrats, young people and folks sick of all the crap) have a hard choice. McCain’s recent talk of unavoidable job losses and more wars are making this a tough call for all the “dissafecteds” out there. That, and all the liberal and moderate Supreme Court justices are McCain’s age or older. (Yikes) I really, really need Obama to win this thing.
