Iowa Caucuses... Lizardly Predictions

Hatched by Dafydd

Getcher red-hot predictions here!

I always like to make hard and fast predictions right before a measurable contest, presenting the maximum opportunity for looking like a blooming idiot.

With that cheery thought in mind, I predict:

  1. Mitt Romney wins the Iowa GOP meet & greet, beating Mike Huckabee by about 6 points;
  2. Barack Obama beats Hillary Clinton in the Democratic contest by less than Romney beats Huckabee;
  3. On the Republican side, John McCain will be third;
  4. Nobody will care who was fourth;
  5. McCain will certainly stick it out through New Hampshire; but when he loses (narrowly) to Mitt Romney, he will pull out before South Carolina (but possibly after Michigan and Nevada).

Let's see if I can manage to miss all five predictions and suffer utter humiliation!

The following hissed in response by: Rovin

#1 Huck will beat Romney by 3.5

#2 Obama beats Clinton by 5

#3 and #4 are far too predictable which leaves Dafydd with a cushion to sqeeze out of the "utter" part.

#5 McCain will ride out the process all the way thru Super Tuesday (Feb 5th)

The following hissed in response by: Geoman

Huck, Romney, McCain in Iowa
McCain, Romney, Giuliani in New Hampshire. Thompson drops - I don't see him winning a state.
Huck, McCain Romney in South Carolina.

After that, who knows? But some sort of brokered convention seems likely. I'd say McCain wins the whole thing. Giuliani becomes director of homeland security. Romney as Treasury Secretary. Thompson either slides happily into retirement or is VP. Huck goes on to run a very successful televangelist operation

Obama, Clinton and Edwards in Iowa.
Clinton, Clinton Clinton the rest of the way. Probably gives Obama the VP slot.
