What do you need to win the presidency? A good resume? Impeccable credentials? Diplomacy experience? I guess you just can't compete when you're up against a Clinton or an Obama. Richardson, the perpetual fourth place finisher, decides to call it quits.
Who's the next to go? I guess Duncan Hunter is still in. Let's just say a certain red pickup is running out of gas.
Now for a Wevoteprocat exclusive. We call it The Thermometer.
Okay, it could use a better name. While it may not have the best moniker, you can count on its reading.
The Dems are pretty obvious this week:
Hillary: Hot! Duh. However, NH should be seen as a life preserver rather than a checkered flag.
Obama: Warm. The second place in NH may have cooled him off, but he's certainly not slowing down. He enters next week as the man to beat.
Edwards: Let me express my feelings in borrowed verse:
I am an American left-leaning voter
I live on Foster Avenue
I'm hiding out in the big city blinking
What was I thinking when I endorsed you?
Edwards is trying to break our hearts.
The GOP is a bit trickier.
McCain: Scorching. In case you missed it, J-Mac has owned every political headline for the last 24 hours.
Rudy: Warming up. His late state strategy has captured the media's attention. Will people care come Feb. 5? America's mayor might be in for a letdown: a New York City sized ego might yield a Youngstown, Ohio result: rusted out and going nowhere.
Huckabee: Cooling off. No one thought he would do well in New Hampshire, but he did better than expected. So, why is he cold? The party faithful are flocking to McCain.
Thompson: Cold. South Carolina could create a bit of an upswing, but he's looking, drumroll, tired and the latest web push is painful. Reagan dreams are over. Go home and enjoy your twilight years with the woman who could pass for your daughter.
Romney: Cold. The Stormin' Mormon enters his home state with everything on the line. The masses are catching on to the shtick.
See you Sunday! We'll have exclusive endorsements from Annie, Malcolm and Lady. Wevoteprocat out.
