This is a little uncomfortable to watch, but funny, nonetheless…

Hillary Clinton has won the Nevada caucuses. The margin was extremely close given Obama’s poll numbers over the past nine months. Now it’s on to South Carolina.

If it’s a Tuesday, chances are it’s a primary day somewhere in America! There are primaries in Maine, South Carolina, North Dakota and Virginia.

DoubleSpeak will be watching the Virginia race closely to see which man; Jim Webb or Harris Miller will earn the right to take on Sen. George Allen (R-VA) in November’s general election.

From The Washington Post:

Virginia Senate candidate James Webb rallied supporters yesterday with the Democratic Party’s 2004 presidential nominee, Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), hoping to spark interest in a primary that is expected to draw a tiny percentage of voters today.

Before about 250 people in Arlington County, Kerry heartily endorsed Webb, President Ronald Reagan’s former Navy secretary, saying that the Senate needs the “confident leadership” and “independent thinking” that Webb has offered during the campaign.

Webb’s opponent, former lobbyist Harris Miller, spent the afternoon making last-minute phone calls to prospective voters and later held a rally at his Northern Virginia headquarters in McLean.

“We cannot rest. We need to win this election tomorrow so that we can win this election in November and get the country going back in the right direction,” Miller told several dozen volunteers.

Both candidates continued to run campaign ads touting their ability to defeat incumbent Sen. George Allen (R) in the fall. Miller’s television ads, made possible by his investing $1 million of his personal wealth, hammer Webb on his Republican past.

Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) is running for President of the United States. He says it everywhere he goes; at the supermarket, on FOX News and rumors have it that he even hums ‘hail to the chief’ in the shower.

I have been skeptical of another Biden run; I haven’t seen a place for him to gain traction in what will most certainly be a very crowded primary. However, after watching Sen. Biden On C-SPAN in South Carolina this past week, I not only think he could play very well in that crucial southern primary, I think he looks and sounds like a strong candidate. His stump speech is re-tooled and includes many references to his personal experiences in government, as well as some emotional tributes to his parents, sister and late wife and daughter.

Sen. Biden also won the backing of retired Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC), an influential South Carolinian who backed Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) early on in the 2004 primaries.

U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., scored huge points — if not critical support — for his possible White House bid during a high-profile visit last week to the Galivants Ferry stump meeting.
It was a stellar performance that won Biden rave reviews.

“A terrific speech,” said Inez Tenenbaum, state superintendent of education, who lost a 2004 U.S. Senate bid to Republican Jim DeMint of Greenville.

“We just saw the next president of the United States,” State Treasurer Grady Patterson said.

Sen. Biden will travel to New Hampshire this week, home of the first in the nation primary. This will be his ‘first proper campaign swing through the state.’
