The 2008 Election is fast approaching, which is one of the reasons I started this blog. I am a mom of 2 young boys living in an East Coast (typically "Blue" state), but also an "election junkie" (at least that's what my husband calls me). If you haven't guessed by the blog name, I'm conservative in almost every issue (except for one or two, which I'll write about sometime). I'm a big social conservative, so I typically vote Republican.
I read Rasmussen, and Real Clear Politics, and the National Review Online every morning (usually while holding my baby). So, for my first post, here are my thoughts on Election 2008 as of February 9, 2008.
Republicans: Obviously, John McCain will be getting the nomination. The only other contenders are Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul. Ron Paul attracts a very LOYAL following (makes you wonder if he'll consider a third party run). Mike Huckabee did surprisingly well on Super Tuesday, but I can't see any logical way for him to get the nomination (even though James Dobson just endorsed him). The question is, who will McCain pick for the VP spot. Hopefully not Romney (sorry Romney fans). Probably not Huckabee. I imagine a popular and conservative (fiscally and socially) figure from the South. Just a guess though.
Democrats: It's really close between Hillary and Obama, but I give the edge to Hillary right now. She leads barely in delegates, and has more Super-delegates than Obama. By the beginning of March, she has more potential for gaining delegates than he does.
