They were line up at 6:30am in Wisconsin waiting for the polls to open.

The problem is, Wisconsin primaries aren't until Feb. 19th.

You're right, he sounds exactly like the People's President. Close your eyes some time and imagine it's The Rock talking, sounds just like him.

There is no doubt that of the four Obama is the top showman. He is very comfortable behind the mike. Hillary and McCain I find alright to listen to although far from having an entertainer style like Obama. Romney strikes me as a good used car salesman.

Huckabee is of course with his background a good speaker but he ain't in the top four.

Personally I think for entertainment value(debates and what not) that an Obama-McCain final would be the best.

Here's something I've never understood about American politics. Let's use the Democrats as an example. If Obama ends up being the presidential candidate; why wouldn't he choose Clinton as his VP? That way he picks up a few of the Women votes that she would bring along with her; and give him a better chance of winning.

Or is there something bigger that I'm missing?

Probably because by then, things may have gotten too personal.. and if you're going to run for president, that's your goal and nothing else.

Because he realizes that people are voting for him because they don't want Clinton anywhere near the White House?

Republican Mike Huckabee scored the first Super Tuesday victory, winning all 18 delegates at stake in West Virginia.
Quote:

The former Arkansas governor won with the support of 52 percent of the state's GOP convention delegates on the second round of balloting. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney came in second with 47 percent of the vote, and Sen. John McCain was backed by 1 percent of the delegates
