Potomac Primary

Tomorrow there is voting in Virginia, Maryland, DC. For the Dems, I think Obama's looking good there.

For the Republicans it's likely McCain, although it's interesting that there remains a very strong anti-McCain vote and since McCain is considered the "guaranteed winner" overall, his supporters are not always as motivated to show up at the polls. I think that's why Huckabee did so well in the round of voting on Saturday.

It's extremely unlikely to change the outcome overall but does continue to demonstrate McCain's weakness among conservatives. I think he's working to try to overcome that but he has a lot of work to do there, in my opinion, and it remains to be seen if he can even do it.

The one area where McCain can gain the support of conservatives is if he continues to make firm commitments about appointing justices similar to the type President Bush has. Because most certainly any Democrat would appoint liberals. That would be the one thing (OK, along with remaining firm and vigilant in the War on Terror) that would motivate me to support McCain over any Democrat.
