As usual my Thursday spot on Casting the net is complete and it's time to share, share, share. I'm busy with work currently but I aim to put a couple of posts on over the next couple of days regarding Boris Johnson and his half a £million "transition team", as well as some more comments on the latest issues of the day!

Remember to check out the following links that didn't quite make it in to my review, or go ahead and click continue reading below to see the full list posted up on Liberal Conspiracy.

Comment is free - Jeremy is very critical of Cameron and two faced Tories. A scathing attack worth a read.
Three line whip - A brief explaination of the history of the word "crap" in parliament.
Schneider Home - Is it bad for Labour? Well to use an oft used Lib Dem argument, it's not as bad as those in Germany.
Kerron Cross - It's always good to know that no matter what the politics of the day, someone is looking for your style mistakes!

I've been added as one of a handful of bloggers helping out at Liberal Conspiracy with their daily "NetCasts", and Thursday (for now at least) is my day in the sun. You can check out my offerings on the last 24 hours best blogs over at Liberal Conspiracy.

However I also wanted to mention a few blogs here that didn't quite make it in to my list of 6 or 7 items, and intend to do so each week here (if the quality of articles is out there!).

Lib Dem Voice - Mark Pack questions the way the Tories are picking their next Henley MP. Read the comments for the wider argument about how the Lib Dems do it too!
Political Betting - In an issue obviously close to Mike's heart, he wonders why it's taken so long to get the transparency needed for a controversial Ken Livingstone poll.
Alisdair's Blog - Get past the garish header and you have a 15 year old that manages to sound sensible on the subject of the new cluster bomb treaty.
Dizzy Thinks - Dizzy takes a look back at the websites of the main political parties as far back as before the 1997 general election. How times have changed...

...She would be required to close up shop and tell everyone to go home. I'm going out slightly on a limb, like many others, by predicting the end of her bid to become the Democratic nominee in all but name. The reason for this though isn't because of her more vindictive than ever attitude but because the people simply don't care for her now they've seen both sides of both arguments.

Latest polls are obviously starting to come in with more and more important data looking towards next weeks make or break primary session for the Democrats, and as I wrote earlier on this blog, the data has been looking worse and worse for Hillary. Just to remind you before you read on, Clinton really needs to win around 150 delegates from Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania...though ideally from Texas and Ohio alone to give her campaign a much needed boost. To do this she will have to win these large states by around 40 percentage points.

So Obama has won Hawaii and Wisconsin as predicted, and come the end of the counting he should be at least 150 delegates ahead of Clinton leading in to the next big day of primaries. This is almost certainly the end of the road for his streak, as impressive as it's been, and I feel it's done some big damage to Clinton's campaign which are now seeing slumps in the polls in even the states thought to be safely big wins for her. Ultimately though the next two months are going to be about Clinton and her regaining the ground on the upstart. Unfortunately for Clinton I think that will ultimately play in to his underdog status that he enjoys come May.

Just a quick one, but I wanted to blow my own trumpet and brag about how how right I was about where the Democratic race is going. I'm now more sure than before that the next two states of any meaning will also go to Obama with polls on the rise for him. After that is Texas and Ohio. Quite simply put, Hillary has to win both of these states by about 70% to 30% to stay in the race. Even winning by that margin will likely not put her back in the lead with pledged delegates, though perhaps for overall delegates, but it could stay her execution enough to be able to fight Pennsylvania which is the last big state. In short she needs roughly 100 delegates from these two states just to stay on the pace and give her campaign a boost, and then an emphatic victory in Pennsylvania. Even then it may not be enough.

If Obama does as well in Texas as people are rumouring, or if he cuts in to what is a significant margin of support for Clinton in Ohio, then I have to concur with others around the web that are suggesting that the first primaries of March could be Clinton's curtain call.

It is clear that after tonight Barack Obama will be making strides in to the lead with pledged candidate numbers. He is currently projected to win the Washington and Nebraska caucuses, and exit polls suggest an easy victory in Louisiana is on the way. I was very disappointed with just how many people have tried to suggest that Hillary Clinton is still the person to beat after Super Tuesday, it was very clearly a draw on the night however it is the fact that Obama had come from such a huge margin behind the favourite Clinton that made him able to claim the biggest moral victory. How much longer will those that clearly don't want an Obama victory be able to deny where the feeling of the US, and the world, is going?

In the shadow of the current UK political climate, with civil liberties being increasingly infringed and power being shifted towards those that don't deserve it while they claim they're devolving it to us, it's nice to actually see some kind of positive politics...even if it is over the pond in the US of A. The night is not quite over but the results seem to be that McCain has generally, though not convincingly, won the night for the Republicans, while Huckabee is the most improved candidate with Romney letting his pace drop. For the Democrats it will be described as a draw, and depending on how it's spun it's a close points victory for Obama.

News has just broken that John Edwards is quitting his campaign to become president of the USA. This is a very interesting move as it now leaves only Obama and Clinton as the remaining runners and people will want to know how Edwards is going to side when it comes to his previous competitors.

I'm trying something new here, not sure if it's going to work as well as intended but here it is. Read more for the transcript of this movie.

Since Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spat their dummies out at the latest democratic debate there has been a lot of talk about how the campaign has changed. The fact that Obama seemingly wanted to play it as "the nice guy" was shattered this week when he lowered himself to Clinton's level and she beat him with experience. Analysts are now asking what should Obama should do next?

There is seemingly a lot of scratching of heads going on over why Obama is still clinging to as much of the nice guy persona as he can. Certainly if he is truly "that nice" then it potentially affects his credibility to be the commander in chief, but if he is just holding back it makes him a poor strategist. Or does it?
