Looks like I was wrong.

When I went home to visit my folks at Christmas a few months ago I got to talking politics with my dad. He asked who I thought the presidential nominees would be. I said Clinton and Huckabee. It's starting to look like I was wrong on both counts.

My dad wouldn't predict a Democrat but he said he thought McCain would be the Republican nominee. I said no way. I never thought the Republicans would nominate McCain. I think the Republicans have acted like a "smartmob" in the sense that McCain is probably the only candidate with a realistic chance at winning.

The Democrats - and I tend to vote Democratic - are acting like a "dumbmob" in the sense that they sure seem to be trying to lose this thing.
