Exhibit 6.26

Election Thoughts

*Clearly enough people aren't talking about this.

*Sort of seems like people are understating how big of a win this was for Obama. 10 days ago he would have won half the states he won and gotten beat much worse in others. I know they more or less split the delegates, but isn't that a win for the non-presumpitive nominee?

*You've got to think that Romney is smart enough to see that he can't win a three person race and that Huckabee has nowhere else to go. It's not like Huckabee is going to wake up tomorrow and start yearning for the days when he wasn't hanging around Chuck Norris and was best known as the funniest unemployed guy in the church men's group.

*Worst case scenario for the Democrats: Super delegates end up deciding the race for Clinton who then has to face McCain. The base would (rightfully) feel cheated and McCain will have spent months drumming up support. Clinton v. McCain = scary if all of this recent Democratic enthusiasm disappears without Obama.

*Worst case scenario for the Republicans: Pretty much what has happened. Honestly, they can only go up from here. As much as your average moderate or independent might respect McCain, Republicans can't forgive him for speaking his mind on immigration and taxes.

*Can you imagine being Romney's kids and watching him pump another $10 million into the race? I mean, that's enough money for an invisible car or to have Prince play your 25th birthday party. Maybe they don't care. I guess it's not like I resent that when my dad buys a pair of shoes the money could have bought me space shoes in the future.

*The big winner last night: That's right, the Drake University men's basketball team. 21-1 and winners of 20 straight. Congratulations, boys.

*From here: Looks like Obama is pretty much going to clean up for the rest of February but it won't matter. This will never end. Expect to see a lot more Tucker Carlson than usual.

Romney is gone - let's hope Huckabee can hang around a while longer. . .
