i think the republican primaries are more interesting, just because the states are "winner take all" So even if I lose by 1 vote in the state of florida, for example, then my opponent takes all the delegates. This becomes like a giant chess game for all the candidates to spend all their time in the battleground states where people are still undecided.
The democratic primaries split up their delegates, i.e if it were 60-40, then i would get 60% of the delegates and opponent would get 40%.
I think the republicans will be Romney/McCain in a two horse race-- Romney will appeal to the conservative Base whereas McCain will reach out towards the moderates. McCain is already considering Liberman as a running mate, which would basically make him a middle-of-the road moderate of all moderates.
As for democrats, I think Barack will probably get the nomination. Hillary is popular among democrats, but she is HATED by the servs. I think Obama has a better chance of reaching servs on the line rather than Clinton.
Of course, we all know the competition will be round-house kicked in the face when Chuck Norris comes in and tells everyone who the next president will be.
