My loyal readers, the four posts below form a veritable Squid's Viewers Guide to the 2008 Republican Nomination.

It is questionable whether such a quantity and quality of information has ever been contained in a four-post stretch in the history of political blogging.

To coin a phrase (displaying once again the trademark Squid sense of humor) ... it is mind bloggling.

These posts will flow most cogently if you begin at the bottom and work your way up ... but a top down perusal is permitted as well.

If you encounter sluggish system performance, do not be alarmed. 

All of official Washington, as well as political operatives across the country, will no doubt be attempting to access this site over the next few days.

I agree with your analysis for the most part, but I feel the urge to ask a somewhat obnoxious question: What if neither McCain nor Allen runs? Yes, know that this is not probable, but is is possible. My thought is that Romney would win in this case. What do you think?

Romney is really quite an impressive guy (on television ... I've never seen him in person). If he could believably clarify his position on life ... coming down strongly on the pro-life side, criticizing the Roe decision and promising originalist judges ... he could be the real wild card in the race.
