More Week o' change news...

Nothing too dramatic, except that Kim won a radio call in contest for a 3 night 4 day trip to Las Vegas, to be used within the next 6 months. So now we just to have to plan that out.

Politics:
So Romney dropped out, here is my analysis as to why this is good news for both parties:

Democrats: McCain wins the Republican nomination, but because it becomes mostly an uncontested race, he kind of fades from public view, making it harder for him to regain momentum come August. Plus, Huckabee gains an inflated view of himself by getting all those second place votes and therefore thinks he can be The Great Third party Hope, and splits off as the Social conservative vote, pulling a Nader from the Right.

Republicans: Huckabee splits off, and the Republican party regains the soul it sold in 2000 to the Social Conservatives. And maybe McCain wins as a result of regaining the Reagan coalition of fiscal conservative Independents, Defense Hawks, and Goldwater conservatives who could give a damn about social issues.
