Iowa Caucus Predictions...

[macarthur31]

a.k.a. the 6th BCS Bowl takes place tonight.

C'mon CIN Politicos -- put out your predictions out there, and put out the new storyline that the MSM will be touting after tonight.


I'll start:

Dems:
Obama: 37%
Edwards: 29%
Clinton: 28%
Biden: 4%
Richardson: 2%

Storyline: 1) Obama's Coalition Emerges (Moderate Dems, Indies, Republicans and Young'uns) and gets big time 'Mo going into NH. 1a) Media revels in Clinton collapse, while again ignoring Edwards solid showing.

Reps (Winner Take All):
Huckabee: 30
Romney: 28
McCain: 20
Freddie T: 9
Ron Paul: 8
Rudy G: 4

Storyline: Huck holds firm and builds the buzz, McCain suddenly gets viable in NH, and with Rudy G doubling down in Floriday, Romney Inc really needs Michigan to stay in the game.
