Here I sit, on Tuesday March 4, 2008, waiting for the election results to come in. I got a whole day to wait, perhaps 10 hours. So I figure I will do as I do and make some predictions.

The main race is on the Democrat side. It is doubtful there will be too much big news on the GOP side. In either Ohio or Texas, McCain, in true winner take all fashion, could clinch the nomination. One thing I think would be fairly interesting is if Huckabee, disregarding conventional wisdom all together, decided to stay in the race, or… and here’s an idea that might be interesting to discuss, what if he pulled a Lieberman, and withdrew from the GOP race to go on the ballot as an independent? We all know that Christian conservatives hate McCain because he is a person who is not in line with their reactionary cultural agenda, and when he makes overtures to their side, they sound insincere at best. We all know McCain, the inheritor of the Barry Goldwater seat, is a National Security type of Republican. He hasn’t made too much mention about gay marriage, abortion, or stem-cell research. But Huckabee is their man in this department. A good southern Baptist minister, he is truly a man of God, and therefore a good candidate for office for folks on the social-fascist side of the spectrum (in fact, nothing recommends him higher for the job: he need have zero foreign policy experience, for example. He only needs to throw God into every other sentence, profess Jesus as his own personal savior [which apparently doesn’t take anything away from the millions of other dupes who profess the same thing] and he is fit to be anointed the second coming of King David.)
