Winners so far: Obama, clinton & Edwards

Losers: Brian Williams, and that other fat head Russert. Too many inside baseball, horse race questions.

The show has not started yet, but here are my predictions.

The quirky skinny white kid will make it to Hollywood but will screw up the trio.

I like the quirky fat white rocker girl to make it to the top 20 but not much after that.

The white guy rocker with the hair will make the top ten but the shaved head guy will not.

The African American church vocalist girl will make it to the top four after she digs deep and finds a fifth gear.

The Lou Rawls style crooner will look good down the stretch but will stuble singing Elton John.

The Country Western blonde will make the top three.

Simon will get booed.

Paula will be visibly drunk.

The funny thing is that early on I thought Huckabee was one of the Republicans that I could kind of stand. He is an economic populists who understands the value of music education. And if someone as level headed as Mahaffie could write,

Does He Have a Prayer?
Presidential handicappers aren’t too sanguine about Mike Huckabee’s chances to get the Republican Party’s nomination for President, but I like the guy. I have several colleagues in the GIS world who worked in his government in Arkansas and report that he is practical, no-nonsense sort. In the several interviews I’ve heard, Mr. Huckabee sounds like a decent and smart guy.

…then Huckabee could not be totally nuts, could he?

Well yes, he could…

“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”

…or maybe not.  American Idol is on.

Anyway, MYDD reports that the McCainiacs might be sitting this one out so right thinking Dems might be enough to push Mitt over the top.

I have just been contacted by a pretty reliable source that says the answers to  the district wide Biology Test have been passed around the internet either via email or myspace.  My guess is a combination of the two.  Several students are going to be busted.  Brandywine High School appears to have uncovered it at some point today. 

This is hot people.  I will keep you posted.  Apparently the answers provided would give kids about a 95%.

nemski.com pointed out this little nugget.  Pretty good hand writing for a 2nd grader don’t you think?

With Bullock in I guess I need to start thinking about who I like to take on that abject loser Mike Castle. My criteria are pretty straightforward:

1) How much do we agree on the issues? and
2) Can you win?

I know my dream candidate is not on the horizon, but right now I don’t who is closer to my dream candidate. See my awesome excel graph for the visual aid.

Looking at this, even now, I can say Northington is probably out based on the fact that, while high on the liberal axis – he is about as close to zero as you can get on the “chance of winning” axis.

The Rev. Christopher Bullock has organized the building his new church in New Castle in such a way that he now feels that he will have time to make a real run for Congress.

* Of course he will have to get past Karen Hartley-Nagel and Jerry Northington in the primary.

When asked by a TV reporter if he was sentimental about the idea of knocking down the Spectrum he guilelessly replied, “I didn’t help build it.

Dave Burris is not warming up to Mike Protack.
