My Finish Predictions - Iowa

[M]

If Edwards is the nominee, Pennsylvania will be an "interesting" race. If Dean is the nominee, Maryland will be an "interesting" race.

Dean
Kerry
Edwards
Gep

If I were a dem in Iowa, I'd vote Edwards. As a GOPer, I can't wait for the Deaniacs to pull through.

My final predictions are as follows:

Dean on top. Many of his people don't show up as well in polls, and I think that, though young, Deaniacs have the enthusiasm and drive to stat firm at the caucuses for hours if necessary. The good news for Dean is that Iowa caucuses are dominated by extremists and special interest groups. (heh heh...)

2nd and third are between our buddies Lurch and Jawn Edwahds. This should be the night's most exciting race.

Gep is last. Sorry, old chum, but whatever presence the unions have in Iowa isn't going to come out too strongly for you... they've soured on you, my friend. And the undecided incumbent rule (a favorite of some Leipian forumites) works against him here: he's the closest thing to an incumbent, because this is the closest thing to his "home turf".

Onward, Deaniacs! Charge forth like brave but angry lemmings!

I'm gonna have to eat crow- boy, was I off! Well, the real winner here was definitely Edwards, even more than Kerry. Edwards has become my favorite deomcratic candidate next to Lieberman, although I still like Bush better they are the only two I could even dream of voting for.
