Predicting Super (Duper) Tuesday

In a word, or two, who friggin' knows?

Sure, McCain seems to have things locked up, much to the pathological chagrin of Rush, Coulter and the other neototalitarian rightwing demagogues.

But what about the Dems? Just about every pundit, blogger, journalist and even Punxsutawney Phil (who I think was filling in for Katie Couric the other night -- and doing a much better job) has commented on the push Obama has been making these past few days and how he has closed the commanding lead Hillary once held in just about every Super Tuesday state but Georgia. This race has become as close as Bush and cocaine at a Yale frat party.

So as we kick back today, waiting for the final poll numbers to trickle in, let's all bask in one thing: this time next year, George Bush will be nothing but a painful memory. The next president will inherit the economy in its poorest state in history. The budget deficit will be at an all time high. Stagflation. Oil prices. Unemployment. Who could have predicted this disaster? Maybe savoring the end of his reign isn't so peaceful afterall.
