This Saturday, Kansas, Louisiana and Washington state will have GOP primaries. Saturday will also see Democratic contests in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington state and the Virgin Islands (go figure), followed by the Maine caucus on Sunday.
The next real biggie for Clinton and Obama comes on Tuesday with the so-called Potomac primary where Maryland, D.C and Virginia casting their ballots.
And I know you are probably sick and tired of my harping on this tax rebate thing, but another interesting point: one of the reasons some politicians were hesitant to give the rebate to the elderly and the disabled veterans was because they don't have a large amount of taxable income (Only about 20% of Social Security payments are taxed, I believe). So be forewarned, something tells me come tax time 2009, we will be paying for our rebates.
Interesting tidbit, rumor has it that McCain is in talks with Romney to have 'ole Mitt be the VP candidate. Wouldn't that addition just gloss up the Straight Talk Express?

I read thru the whole act.(Very boring) The way they are doing it will not raise your tax for this year. A really crazy formula that taxes you but drops the tax rate and rebates it at the same time. I guess that we can thank our kids for the money as they are the ones that will be stuck with the national debt.
It is over on the Repub side. Romney quit yesterday, Rush conceded today, and the Huckster was never a factor except to drain the conservative vote from Romney. In the end he became a lackey for McCain. now that the conservative vote is no longer a factor in the nomination, Senator Liberal uh..
I mean Senator McCain will soon tell Huck to call off his campaign.
As everyone probably knows by now, Obama won all the Democratic contests over the weekend, and it looks as if Huckabee received a few more delegates (to the consternation on McCain).
It's certainly seems "apparent" that Huckabee should drop out, but he isn't. And maybe Hillary should as well, although she technically leads in the delegate count. Very interesting...
If Huckabee stays in, I'm not as worried about the Republicans being able to consolidate their message and base while the Dems fight it out. McCain needs a spoiler anyway, to help bring out his crank-old-guy side.
