Tina Fey is awesome, smart, funny, brilliant, and hot. She made an appearance on the SNL Weekend Update last weekend to discuss feminism and Hillary Clinton’s presidential run. A very interesting perspective worth thinking about. Definitely go check it out at Crooks and Liars.

When Edwards dropped out of the race, I thought for sure I would be an Obama guy. And for a few days I was. Then I watched the debate on Thursday night and Clinton impressed me quite a bit. Hrm. I guess tomorrow night I will review their policies extensively in the hopes that I figure out who to vote for before Tuesday.

Not that I think polls can predict anything too clearly. But, it is interesting to note that Clinton has held a 15-25% lead in California since last March. Look at Edwards’ numbers and look at Obama’s too. If you were to add those two together, Obama gets a lot closer to beating Clinton and taking California. If I were Obama’s people, I’d be having serious talks with Edwards’ people. I’d promise Edwards the VP nod if he drops out before Super Tuesday and throws all of his support behind Obama.

Don’t get me wrong. I love John Edwards, and want nothing more than for him to be our next president. But, I also see the writing on the wall. If Edwards can’t take South Carolina, he doesn’t have much of a chance of taking the party nomination. And it doesn’t look like he has a very good shot at taking his birth state.

Early precincts reporting:

Clinton 40%
Obama 36%
Edwards 17%

McCain 37%
Romney 29%
Huckabee 12%

How much longer will Edwards hang in there? Will Romney win a state soon? Is it soon going to be a McCain v. Huckabee contest very shortly?

I saw Ron Paul on Jay Leno last night. He sure is a likable personality. Given his fundraising ability, I wouldn’t put it past him to enter as an Independent in the general election.

I’ve decided I don’t care much for Lou Dobbs. Anderson Cooper is pretty, but pretty isn’t everything. Sure would be nice if there were a little more substance to his shows. I kind of like John Cafferty, even if he is stoic and grumpy.

From Salon:

..check out the new CNN/Opinion Research poll released today. In it, both John Edwards and Barack Obama do better than Clinton does in hypothetical head-to-head matchups with leading Republican contenders.

Edwards leads Rudy Giuliani by 11 percentage points, Obama leads him by eight, and Clinton leads him by six. Edwards leads Mitt Romney by 22 points, Obama leads him by 13, and Clinton leads him by 11. Edwards leads Mike Huckabee by 25 points, Obama leads him by 15 points, and Clinton leads him by 11. Edwards leads John McCain by eight points, Obama is tied with McCain, and Clinton trails McCain by two points.

From Salon:

$54.7 million, $34.9 million and $1.3 million: The net worths of John and Elizabeth Edwards, Hillary and Bill Clinton and Michelle and Barack Obama, respectively. The three couples together are worth less than half as much as Mitt and Ann Romney, whose net worth comes to $202 million, according to a CNN/Money report.

Estephania sent this to me today. Not sure whether I should love it or hate it. Can I do both?

Good for her. I like her more today than I did yesterday.
