12:00 A.M.

Wasn’t that fun?

1:36 A.M.

Some buzz. Or buzz-kill, maybe: Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard who has been writing pieces and doing tv appearances asking conservatives to rally around Romney, threw in the towel tonight, saying in fact he expects Romney to give a concession speech this Sunday at CPAC, the consevative convention. McCain snubbed the convention last year, and it was a big deal, so everyone is waiting to see the fireworks when he shows up nearly on his knees this weekend.

2:14 A.M.

Both Hillary and McCain won bigger than expected in California. This is particularly bad news for Mitt, who most exit polls indicated would eke out a slim win. McCain won by about 11 points, Hillary by about 12.

4:52 A.M.

Ann Coulter is at CPAC every year. Can’t wait to see if she has an encounter with John McCain.

5:35 A.M.

I wonder if Hillary will try to back out of her 4-debate challenge to Obama, now that she did alright last night.

7:10 A.M.

Yes, it’s true. Ronald Reagan will introduce John McCain at CPAC.

7:17 A.M.

So, Osama is behind Britney Spears’ mental breakdown.

8:36 A.M.

Today is Bob Marley’s birthday. And Ronald Reagan’s.

11:34 A.M.

I hope any of our readers in the blast zone are okay.

11:51 A.M.

Is it me, or does Obama’s “accent”, or whatever it’s best called, sound completely phony, like a total affectation? I swear to God, this guy reminds me more and more of John Edwards every day.

2:45 P.M.

McCain can’t win without the foundation of the Republican Party, the rock upon which it was built, which is the South. Right now, Huckabee controls the South.
