Primaries In Progress

On the Real Thing
Now that Super Tuesday is over we have a better idea of which candidates have a good possibility of winning the nomination of each party.
Obama and Clinton are the obvious contenders with a more or less even split in spite of the difference in favor of Hillary and I’m sure they’ll battle fiercely from now on to convince the rest of the voters waiting in the wings.
The best news on the Democratic side perhaps is the tremendous outpouring of support and the numbers of voters which has surpassed the Republicans by far. This makes it clear that people want to forget about the present administration, Republicans and other maladies affecting the country.
McCain came in front with flying colors on the Republican side distancing himself 2 to 1 from the nearest contender, Romney, and the later has lost many supporters who have voted for Huckaby.
McCain is something to take into consideration, even among Democrats who could send their final vote to him come November because he’s not too far from many issues common to the left.
The Mc Cain campaign is to be admired since made tremendous progress since the days when he was considered the underdog, outspent by Romney by a mile. Apparently, more than lots of money was needed to obtain victories.
Now we enter the real deal, with the majority of delegates to be courted in other States where primaries are pending. A month or two of sweat and effort.

Hacia La Verdad Verdadera
Ahora que el Super Martes termino, tenemos una major idea de cuales candidatos tienen una buena posibilidad de ganar la nominacion de cada partido. Obama y Clinton son los contrincantes obvios con numeros mas o menos parejos a pesar de una ligera diferencia para Hillary y estoy seguro que combatiran con fiereza de aqui en adelante para convencer al resto de los votantes. La mejor noticia en el lado Democrata quizas es la gran cantidad de apoyo y el numero de votantes que sobrepaso a los Republicanos por mucho. Esto pone en claro que la gente quiere olvidarse de la presente administracion, los Republicanos y otras cosas que afectan al pais.
McCain llego al frente con buenos resultados por el lado Republicano distanciandose 2 a 1 de su contrincante mas cercano, Romney, este ultimo perdiendo muchos simpatizantes debido a Huckaby.
McCain es de tenerse en consideracion, aun entre los Democratas quienes podrian volcar su voto final hacia él en Noviembre debido a que no está muy lejos de muchas cuestiones comunes de la izquierda. La campaña de McCain es de admirarse, ya que progresó mucho desde los dias en que comenzara cuando se lo consideraba con pocas possibilities y con menor presupuesto que Romney. Aparentemente, mucho dinero no fué suficiente. Ahora entramos en el periodo critico, con la mayoria de los delegados por ser conquistados aún en otros Estados. Uno o dos meses de sudor y esfuerzo.
