New Hampshire Pre-Mortem

   Posted by: Doc   in News, Politics

I can start out this post by refering to myself as the “Wizard of S,” (S being socialist). At the end of last year, on the Creepy Sleepy Show, Dan and I predicted Iowa’s winners (though I was more accurate). My prognostication, which I made before Iowa, for New Hampshire is about to be tested. These are just the first two contests. Over time, I will make more predictions and explain why I made those.

For New Hampshire, the writing is sort of all over the wall. Obama will win handily in New Hampshire for the Dems. On the Republican side, it’s a little closer, I predicted Romney would win, because I believed that he would do better than he did in Iowa, but now, it would appear that McCain is making a comeback, so I still have time to change my prediction. I want to say it will be a close win, but I think Romney’s campaign is showing signs of wear and independents will probably break pretty heavily for McCain, putting him over the top.

Nevada can go pretty handily for Obama, especially if he gets a double digit victory in New Hampshire, and this will lead to a victory for him in South Carolina. Hillary Clinton will be on life support then, but she can take a lot of delegates on Feb 5. Fred Thomspon still wins in South Cackalacky.

We’ll see how things go.
