Nobody Hearts Huckabee


John McCain, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton. One of these three people will almost certainly be the next leader of the free world. With the recent primary results streaming in, it seems that Hillary is on the ropes. For quite a while she was considered to be the obvious choice for the democratic nominee, on every thing from her left wing policies, right down to those hideous pants suits. Barack Obama, the hopeful contender to be the next communist leader of Cuba, has been taking all of her key voting demographics. These include women, hispanics, and the middle class. he now has 1,319 delegates to Clinton's 1,250. This sudden campaign strength has been compared to the election of 1948, where favorite Thomas E. Dewey lost to underdog, Harry S. Truman. Meanwhile, on the GOP side of the campaign, is a man who is seemingly more at home at the DNC than in the NRA. This is the Republican powerhouse, John McCain. McCain is a ringer to win the Republican nomination because of his growing number of delegates, 918 to Huckabee's mere 217. This victory is assured despite those who accuse him of being more a liberal thn a conservative, his campaign skullduggery, and a New York Times article that stated he has been cozying up to lobbyists. To this timid observer, one thing is for sure in this upcoming elcetion, nomatter who wins, we all lose.
