    I think I can predict how candidates will spin this one.

    Hillary: I’m a woman! Sexists! SEXISTS!

    Paul: Fine. I’m just waiting for primaries with popular votes!

    Hunter: Why isn’t anyone listening to me?

    Thompson: Zzzzz…. Zzzzz….

    What are your predictions David?

    A number of campaign organizations are reporting that people they thought would need rides, ect. have already left their homes when they called to get them out to the polls. Fits with David Kaiser’s comment regarding turnout.

    Early indications are for massive turnout. One voting place apparently had three times the turnout this year as in 2004.

    Iowa Predictions:

    GOP

    First Place:Mike Huckabye
    Second: Mitt Romney
    Third: John McCain
    Fourth: Ron Paul
    Fifth: Fred Thompson

    Comments: Big win for Huckabye (less than 2 months ago Iowa Repubs didn’t even know how to pronounce his name. I do, but I like the Arkansas version.)

    Major loss for Mitt, but only from the standpoint that he spend so much $$$ in Iowa, and campaigned on the ground so much. He still has a chance with New Hampshire.

    Big win for McCain–and it’s on the NH for the old war horse. Ron Paul at number 4 should shake up a few GOP-ers. Fred at number 5–all over but the smiling.

    Democrats:

    First: Barack Obama
    Second: John Edwards
    Third: Hillary Clinton
    Fourth: Bill Richardson
    Fifth: Doesn’t Matter

    Comments: A huge win for Obama. First African American to win a primary in history. Big MO for Hew Hampshire. Will make others in both parties take a second look at how they are running their campaigns. The change and hope positioning, ect.

    Second keeps Edwards in the race. But like last time around he won’t win his birth state of South Carolina. Will hang in a bit but that’s it. However, his endorsement of Obama or Hillary could be key–especially if his grass roots people work for one or the other. He isn’t going anywhere yet though even if he places third. To much invested in the campaign.

    A huge loss for Hillary, no matter how the Clinton camp spins it. If she places third, the spin will be that Iowa was never for Hillary anyway. That she came from the bottom of the pile to win third. Comeback kid, female version. Won’t fly though.

    Richardson will maybe hang a bit after placing fifth. Although there is word that he, like Kucinich, is cutting a deal with Obama in terms of the second choice balloting in Iowa. If so, that’s a big blow to Hillary.

    Of course, I could be completely wrong. Things are undecided on the ground to say the least.
