Baring any last-minute scandal or divine intervention, it's a safe bet to assume that John McCain will be the Republican candidate for president. The picture on the Democratic side is far less clear. One thing is for certain, though, Super Tuesday is going to be a dogfight on both sides.

The Arizona senator, a genuine War hero who has forged alliances with Democrats when needed, may be the GOP's best hope of retaining the White House, though chances of that happening are probably remote. McCain is trying to court voters worried about the economy through his calls to abolish the AMT, fight wasteful spending and to keep taxes low. He is gaining some big endorsements including one-time rival Rudy Giuliani and California Gov. Arnold Schwazanegger. Mitt Romney is losing ground to McCain in part because Mike Huckabee is siphoning off support from social conservatives.

MoveOn.org may get its way. After launching a pretty aggressive campaign against Facebook's new Beacon service, BusinessWeek is reporting that Facebook management may finally be caving in to pressure to change the service. BloggingStocks' Aaron Katsman wrote earlier this week rather critically about MoveOn.org's stance.

The Beacon service allows website owners to "Enable your customers to share the actions they take on your website with their Facebook friends." By just adding a few lines of code to an e-commerce website, for example, purchase information from customers who are also Facebook users could be posted onto Facebook in a move deemed by MoveOn.org to be too much of a privacy invasion.

MoveOn.org's campaign (see it here) focuses on the privacy ramifications of Beacon. "When you buy a book or movie online -- or make a political contribution -- do you want that information automatically shared with the world on Facebook?" says the MoveOn.org website.
