The Debate Rages On...
Primary Season: When Will It End?
By Joel Achenbach
What if it's not over? What if it's not even close to over? This is turning into a scary night.
Way back when, Feb. 5, 2008, was the date circled on every political writer's calendar as the effective end of the primary season, at which point everyone could start reading novels again, and puttering around the house, and planning that Florida beach trip. But the story line developing tonight is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can decide whom they want as president.
At Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall writes, "McCain's folks were dying to have Huckabee stay in and do well. But I suspect at the end of the evening he'll have done a good deal better than ... McCain wanted. And Mitt's not getting shut out either. Keep watching this."
Michael Sherer at Time's Swampland blog writes that "as the early results come in from Super Tuesday's voting, the two-person narrative sure looks shaky in the South, the Republican Party's heartland."
Salena Zito of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has a headline on her blog asking, "What if Dems have frontrunner, not GOP?" And that Dem would be Obama.
Jim Geraghty at the National Review can't believe how poorly McCain is doing in Arizona. Of course he should have read, ahem, The Post's story the other day about Republicans and immigration in McCain's home state.

when is this going to end. it's all about money now. But she has to win because we cant have a man that wont even be sworn in with a bible. Whose told his own uncle that the first thing he was going to do was send money and support and spend most of his time in AFrica. He is so very tied to terriost, and not from just 20 years ago. even now. We'll maybe let him win the primary afterall so that we can start getting to know the real osama bin obama.

There really should be no place for Joel Achenbach in a respectable news organization.
