The Long March Continues

I have not been on this blog since before the Super Tuesday primary. I have been silent through the aftermath of the primaries, the shock over the surprise victories of Governor Huckabee, the departure of Mitt Romney, the move by all of "the chattering classes" to crown John McCain, who so many of us swore we would never vote for, as king of the Party.
In the meantime, Mike Huckabee is drawing bigger and bigger crowds in Kansas, his wife is well-received in Washington, his website reports about a 20% increase in daily donations SINCE Super Tuesday, and his Meetup.com-based networks are gaining more members and volunteers, which in turn are making phone contacts with voters at four times the rate of what was done just 2-3 weeks ago.
I expect to see a great big "Not. So. Fast." sign and barrier on the railroad tracks on the way to Senator McCain's coronation. Watch for unexpected victories in the caucuses in Kansas and Louisiana tomorrow (Washington's a long shot), an upset win in Virginia on Tuesday, and complete pandemonium by March 4, with Huckabee victories in Texas and Ohio.
Get ready. As in the words of Jaws II, "just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water." Huckabee isn't done, not even close.
Ciao.
