Some thoughts: Thompson is done. I don’t even know why he is still in the race. He was DOA. Ron Paul is done, the internet hype has not produced the type of poll results that you would have thought, and the money he has been able to fundraise has done nothing for him. Guiliani is not predicted to even finish in the top three until Nevada where he tied with Romney (who I believe will win Nevada), and he has lost ground to Mike Huckabee in Florida. If Giuliani does not pull out a victory in Florida. I think he is done. Basically, national polls mean nothing. Personally I think Romney will be done by 2/5/08. We’ll see. Anyway I may be drinking kool-aid and I’m certainly no expert, but if Huckabee wins here (Iowa) tonight, and McCain wins in New Hampshire, and Giuliani doesn’t fair better – look for Huckabee and McCain to go up, Giuliani to trend down in the national polls.
That’s my take, and I could be completely wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time. But it is fun to guess.
Well, hi-ho, hi-ho off to caucus I go. I will blog on my experience caucusing and the results, etc.
