Huckabee Upset In Virginia?

The Virginia primary election results are rolling in, and Obama is having an easy time of it. The only question is whether he'll beat Hillary by more than 20 percentage points.

But look for an interesting night on the GOP side: Huckabee was closing strong in late polls, and in early returns he trails McCain by less than 3%. The exit polls are too close to call this one until all the votes are counted--Huckabee actually has a slight edge in the exit polls, but it's basically a tie.

We're going out for awhile--deal with the icy roads. We'll report back on the GOP race later this evening.

Aside from political positions, if the nominees were to become Huckabee and Obama, that in itself would be incredible.

This would symbolize a complete and total rejection of Beltway Insiders and the election of either candidate who has long talked of cooperation with the opposition to unite this nation.

To take a victory of the next presidential election as the Republicans had in 2000 and 2004, and abuse the wishes of Americans, is a lesson which ought not be repeated by whomever becomes the president-elect.

I'm all about isolating and minimizing the fringe extremists on both ends of the political spectrum, as I'm tired of the politics of division. And with 60-70% of voters claiming Obama is the best to unite the nation, we should help him by joining in with the effort at the grass root level and do the same.

Truly uniting this nation, will lay the groundwork for progress, melted from both ideas spawn from the left and the right.

Keep uniting, X!
