Predictions for the nominees

Jack Layton talking to Stéphane Dion on his initiative about Afghanistan is sort of like the pinkie talking to the hand.
It is ridiculous to talk about how alcohol and firearms are legal and tobacco is legal and regulated and they cause lots of damage so that is why we should not allow drugs to become legal and regulated. They’ll still cause a lot of damage and problems for addiction. But you don’t see any cigarette or booze gangs running around running those things. Only someone who doesn’t have to live in the neighbourhoods that deal with these ruthless, murderous gangs would say something like that. Isn’t it easier to deal with the problem if the person doesn’t have to hide all the time whenever he wants to use whatever he is addicted to? Aside from that, I don’t remember anyone running a gang for cigarettes, unless they were taxed or tariffed too much.
There are many people who vote for the NDP in the average poll or election would trade their Canadian ballot for an American ballot in an election. That says it all.
I wish to further memorialize the February 6, 2008, that McCain and Clinton will be the nominees of their parties. They have won in California and I don’t see how they can be stopped mathematically. Probably, the Democrat race will continue on as a sort of curiosity, especially if Obama can somehow win a couple of the remaining big states. In the likelihood that he doesn’t, Clinton will probably win the nomination.
McCain will almost certainly win it now. He seems to have more delegates that Romney and Huckabee put together. Clinton only has about a 10% lead on Obama. On the Republican side, it looks more inexorable that he will take the nomination.
