McCain, on the other hand, is broke.  (I believe he's taking the public financing, too, so he'll remain broke.  I could be wrong about that, though.)  So that's time effectively bought by the Dems.  And I think McCain may have made a mistake pissing off Romney tonight.  (He stands for nothing, but he's got a boatload of cash to hammer St John with.)

And, with Edwards out, the press finally has its woman/black-guy fight, so I doubt McCain is going to get massive press by simply rolling over Mittster.

Edwards is going to be in California tomorrow, picketing with the writers, and there are some endorsement whispers going.  (It's impossible to say who it'd go to, if it's true, since both Obama and Clinton will be in LA for the debate.)  Richardson is also likely to endorse this week, and, after having some pretty kind words for Obama in the WaPo the other day, I do note that Clinton has no plans to be in New Mexico, while Obama does.  Conventional wisdom holds that Richardson goes with Clinton, but you never know.

My sense is that we'll have a pretty good idea after Tuesday.  A large Clinton win sows it up for her, while Obama pulling off surprises probably gives he the big momentum.  One of the two will be under massive pressure to get out, I'd guess.

Personally, I'm out of the prediction business from here on out, since, after pretty good ones in 2006 and Iowa, my predictive abilities seem to have gone to shit.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
