« Mixed signals in Brattleboro | Main | Huckabee's speech »

March 04, 2008

Ouch!

I have CNN on in the background as I type up my story for tomorrow's paper. And whomever the reporter is on there just now had this assessment of the Republican side of the race: "For better or worse" John McCain is their presidential candidate.

And then Wolf Blitzer chimes in, "They've been bracing for this."

Oh, and it sounds like Mike Huckabee will drop out Thursday. If someone told me a year ago that McCain would be the Republicans' guy, I would have thought you were crazy. Never place bets on politics, I guess.
