Prediction 2: Have you actually looked at the calendar after Super Tuesday?

Holy smokes, talk about a diversified table. Here in Virginia, the media schedulers are already in full mojo mode with the Virginia primary next week, but looking ahead:

this weekend: Washington, Louisiana, and Kansas;
next Tuesday: Virginia and Maryland
two Tuesdays: Wisconisn
March 4: Texas & Ohio
March 11: Mississippi

and then, NOTHING FOR FIVE WEEKS

April 22: Pennsylvania.

and then NOTHING FOR TWO WEEKS

until NC and Indiana go in mid-May.

It looks like Maverick is in need of @400 delegates to wrap it up, which isn't really mathematically possible until Wisconsin in two weeks. The key for the eventual nominee is to wrap it up before Mississippi on the eleventh, because that hiatus is going to be the real Thunderdome of the campaign. The Donks are going to be eating each other alive, when a media machine fueled to high octane by a compressed schedule suddenly hits a no real news zone. Expect bimbo erruptions on the HRC side, as well as the long-awaited "Messiah Stumbles" reaction against Obama. The trick for the Republicans is to enter the dead zone with a clear nominee, and let the shredding occur on the other side, as the Donks march to the inevitable "Selected, Not Elected" nominee.
