ES futures down about 60 points from friday's close. YM down almost 500

You've gotta be freakin kidding me!!!!! Yesterday's NFC championship might as well have been the Super Bowl, because it was a much better game than the NY/NE game is gonna be.

It is true that Romney's delegate count is inflated a bit by Nevada Mormons, something like 4-5 extra delegates, but the rest was simply getting his name out. Nobody else except Ron Paul was campaigning in Nevada and up until 1 week ago the polls had Giuliani leading there because of...

Hmmmm... I just found an interesting rule though. Florida primary rules state that in the case of a penalty, all remaining delegates are declared At-Large for the national convention. This would result in the state truly becoming a winner-take-all state, meaning there really are...

Just wanted to make sure you understand that winner-take-all doesn't mean that whoever wins the state gets all the delegates at this point. Many states are "winner-take-all" states. It generally means that CD delegates are allotted to the candidate who wins in each respective district, while...

On the GOP side things came out pretty much as expected although I had thought that Huckabee would barely pull off a win in SC. I sure Mitt had hoped the battle between Huck and Mac in SC was a little closer, causing a few more delegates to go Huck's way. In any case, the SC polls were...

Well the Nevada caucus on the DEM side gave us a few interesting things to look at. Hillary wins with a 6% margin and ends up getting the same number of delegates as Obama. Isn't this system great?! There were a few interesting insights provided by the entrance polls. Hillary has...

Current counts are as follows. Republican Romney --- 53% with 54 delegates Huckabee --- 22% ; 22 McCain --- 15% ; 15 Thompson --- 6% ; 6 Paul --- 2% ; 2 Guliani --- 1% ; 1 Hunter --- 1% ; 1 I think it is becoming obvious who the current front-runner is on the GOP side, but Mitt...

Wow! Looks like I underestimated the breadth of Romney support throughout the state. The above prediction counted on more support for Mac in the upper western districts, allowing him to get a few delegates there. As it runed out, almost every district was overwhelmingly for Mitt causing a...

They aren't spinning it away necessarily. Many of them are openly admitting that the recent leaders have failed. The main difference used to be that DEMs were large government and GOP was small government. Rather than telling people to work and save for their retirement, a democrat brought...

Zzzzz, I agree with a lot of what that article is saying, but talk about one sided. It could very well have said this too. "On the democrat side the results spell the same story. Obama handily won Iowa resulting in a humiliated Hillary Clinton. Then Obama promptly coughs up the ball...

You underestimate the "ability" of the republican party to realign itself closer to a more moderate population.

That's a bold statement considering he has won 2 of the first 4 states. One of them was landslide victory, and the other he won quite handily, even with liberals crossing over to vote for his opponent. The 2 that he didn't win, he still came in a close second. He is likely to win Nevada...

I would comment on the DEM race, but there isn't much to say unless Clinton starts spouting off about her amazing 55% of the vote. Nevada is a much bigger deal for them so I will save comment for that time.

All streaks were preserved in the Michigan race. -- even amongst non-supporters, Romney was viewed as best candidate to save the economy. -- McCain got an overwhelming amount of the DEM and Indie vote. He is living proof that the line between GOP and DEM is getting ever thinner. --...

Wow! Even with the extra indie support from the DEM side, McCain got slaughtered. If DEMs woulda been voting Romney might have taken it by closer to 12%. Looks like my delegate predictions were spot on. There are still 8 delegates to be assigned, but they should come in mostly for Romney...

Yeah that's the best matchup we have left. I would've liked to see T.O. vs. Moss, but as a team I don't think Dallas and NE match up well. IMO, TO has more talent than Moss, but Romo can't get TO the ball as well as Brady gets Moss the ball. In any case, I don't like Dallas, so I would...

I think Romney is in for a disappointing night. The latest polls have him leading Michigan by 3-5%, but the polls are focused on registered republicans and GOP leaning independents. While I don't think there will be a flood of voters from the DEM side, there might just be enough to get the win...

There are those of us who think Paul is spreading a good message and would love to support such a message on rational terms. Unfortunately for RP, his cult worshipers are the ones screaming in the streets and getting all the attention. Most people don't realize that he has intelligent rational...

The numbers above count on Romney winning Michigan with the delegate counts resulting in Romney -- 15 McCain -- 11 Huckabee -- 4 Nobody else should get any delegates as at-large delegates are proportional above 15% and I don't think anybody else comes in above 15% tomorrow. CD...
