Interesting results of the primaries tonight, with Barack Obama having pretty much a clean sweep, and John McCain doing the same. Not sure what to make of it all, although it's certainly a relief that the Huckabee candidacy on the Republican side has been such a fizzle; glad his theocratic absolutism hasn't attracted wide support. Some of his narrow-minded and bigoted rhetoric has been pretty scary. It'll be intriguing to see how the Clinton forces deal with the Obama movement, particularly since Ohio is now being touted as a major battleground and a chance for Clinton to regroup and beat back Obama.
