Memories....here is a hilarious Datamar poll of California, with Romney leading by double digits:

Some of my favorite moments of discussion had to do with Giuliani tanking in all the early states, and all the back and forth about whether he could possibly come back after losing all of the first five contests. Here's some good discussion about that:

Except about 5 seconds after this primary concludes the primaries for real states will be taking place, and no one is really going to care about what happened in 3 states with a combines EV total of 19.
Verily on the other hand had a clearer crystal ball.....though he *still* overestimated Giuliani (as did the rest of us; this was before it was clear that Giuliani would completely pull out of IA/NH/NV/MI/SC, and end up getting 4th place or worse in all of them):
Giuliani will not be the Republican nominee. He'll come in a distant third behind Romney and Huckabee in Iowa, probably second to Romney in New Hampshire, and at this rate will come in fourth to Romney, Thompson and Huckabee in South Carolina (well, maybe ahead of Thompson, whose voters will switch mostly to Huckabee after Iowa).
