|
Edwards - Obama - Clinton - Huckabee - Romney - McCain
I don't see Giuliani as having any momentum any more. Is it safe to predict that the next POTUS will be one of the above?

1. Giulani isn't out of it. |
|
And neither is Richardson.

5. Giuliani is definitely still in it. He'll crush Huckabee on Feb 5. |
|
We'd better not get used to the notion of having Huckabee as the Puke nominee. He has no money--may get a little after tonight--and is behind Julie in many of the big states.
A lot of the talking heads are saying the Pukes may come down to a brokered convention.

The momentum factor will be so far in either Huckabee or Romney's favor that he'll lose a very large chunk of people that would have voted for him if every state voted on their primary or caucus on one day.

16. How often does the guy who comes next to LAST in Iowa win the entire thing? |
|
Almost never, I think you'll find.

2. Kucinich will hang in until the convention! |
|
Mark my words.
He got 0% in Iowa but that won't make him go away.

4. does not exactly make him a contender, does it? :-) |
|
Realistically, I think there are just 4: Obama, Clinton, Hackabee, and McCain.

Just curious--he came in second in IA.
Come to think of it, even Night of the Living Fred beat McCain.

11. McCain did not even campaign in Iowa and tied Fred. Romney |
|
outspent everyone, and lost to Huck by a big margin. That makes him appear like a big loser, and GOP hates losers, esp. if they are Mormons :-)

It's one state. One state that some candidates didn't campaign in.

10. I think it will come down to |
|
Democrats: Obama - Clinton Republicans: Romney - Giulliani
Of those four, I further believe is will be Obama vs. Giulliani, though of those four, it could go either way for each.
