...Interesting. I to have been following the desperate dash (I am planning on wishing my colleagues a happy Super Tuesday, and am betting on the fact that NONE of them have a Clue what I am on about), albeit probably not as in-depth (when it comes to them discussing 'issues' I just have to laugh - they make our politicians seem like every sentance they spew is filled with facts and concrete assertions). However the two names you mention I have not heard of At All.
Which makes me think they are all but Gauranteed, Ahem.
Apparently the religious-nut Republican needs to receive a big turn-out to prove he is not just a one-hit wonder, but all the reporters over here really care about is the Clit(on)-B(l)ack feud.

PS. Yes, Deal or No Deal is HORRIFIC. One comedian over here called it Who Wants to be a Millionaire FOR THICKOS. He wasn't fucking-well lieing that's for sure.
