Predicting Tonight's Winner in Iowa

So let's all give our (humble) predictions for Iowa!

I predict Paul will win by a landslide.

I predict Ron Paul ends the year in a diaper and straight jacket.

RP will edge Romney. The mainstream media will act like Romney won even though he didn't. Nobody gives a fuck about Santorum and never did, and he'll finish fourth.

Yes, Ron Paul is a phony republican.

Rex he is a Libetarian. If Romey becomes Prez he will be far left of what you like too.

Rex I think you are a socialist at heart. Imagine not working and collecting a check.

I will predict that Fox News will beat the other channels--with a wide margin.

Who wins in Iowa?

Obama. The GOPpers are killing themselves. I do hope Santorum or Paul win the caucuses. That'll only prove how batshit crazy the Republicans have become.

Ron Paul would lose to Obama in the general and the conservatives--evangelicals don't care for him in Iowa.

The pollsters are the worse when it comes to Iowa.

They need to stand out in front of some churches to get what the 41% undecided are thinking about.

That 41% is astounding btw.

I will predict that Fox News will beat the other channels--with a wide margin.

that is brilliant fatass. Seeing as how faux news is the choice of rightwing tards like yourself everywhere.

"I do hope Santorum or Paul win the caucuses."

Ethanol will never get another dime of subsidies if that happens.

Folks forget that the dems changed the lead like 9 times before Iowa in 2008

And Newt is not going anywhere--not until after Florida at least.

You mean like Michelle Obama?

Agreed. Paul would probably lose to Obama and neocons won't have him either. Though I do believe Paul has a better chance than any in the GOP of beating Obama.

evangelicals don't care for him in Iowa.

evangelicals don't care for him anywhere and, as much as I don't like it, they have a lot of say within the GOP.

Ethanol will never get another dime of subsidies if that happens.

That is not a bad thing? I don't think it is.

You mean like Michelle Obama?

Like every first lady. Be reasonable Rex. You have a cushy job so why do you hate Obama so much?

Ethanol subsidies died out last month. They are gone.

Romney, followed closely by Santorum, then Paul.

GIVE EM HELL, RON! Ron Paul 2012!

Tonight's winner will be electronic voting machines.

I think it's going to finish Santorum, Romney, Paul. Santorum leading into the weekend is huge for him, because it gives the evangelicals confidence to rally behind one candidate.

I don't think he has the money to compete, though. He'll prove to be another Huckabee.

If Paul wins any state, it will be Iowa. The caucus system is perfect for him. You need hardcore dedicated followers to win a caucus, people who are willing to waste half a day to make sure their candidate wins. Paul's fans are rabid.

All that being said, I think he will be neck and neck with Romney at the end of the night.

Romney, Santuroum, Paul, Gingerich, Perry, Bachmann, Huntsman.

Perry and Huntsman will drop out within two weeks. Bachmann will stick around up to six more weeks despite plummeting support. Support for Bachmann, Perry and Huntsman will go to Santorum, Gingerich and Paul mainly. Romney suffers a huge enthusiasm and distrust problem. If Romney doesn't win big and win early, he won't get the nomination. And if he does, he'll fracture the GOP who has emphasized party principles over electability. That fracture will undercut his fundraising and campaigning efforts leading to an Obama victory.

This doesn't even mention the Dems are just waiting to launch attacks calling Romney an 80's corporate raider who pays a lower tax rate than the blue collar portions of the country.

There are a lot of plausible scenarios with Gingerich and Santorum getting the nomination. None with Paul.

Shame too, because Romney and Huntsman are both decent candidates.

Romney, this is all.

If Romney for any reason doesn't win, he won't get the nomination.

evangelicals don't care for him anywhere and, as much as I don't like it, they have a lot of say within the GOP.

Evagelicals vote with their hearts versus their heads--imho.

And after Alan Colmes made that comment about Santorum taking his deceased child home as 'crazy'--that just brings out more hearts for Santorum.

I think it's going to finish Santorum, Romney, Paul. Santorum leading into the weekend is huge for him, because it gives the evangelicals confidence to rally behind one candidate.

The 41% undecided is reportedly 7% truly undecided and 34% 'could change their mind'.

Now--to me--that sounds 'undecided'--lol

But the difference may be that people are actually thinking about electability.

If the 41% breaks for Santorum--it will be Huckabee all over again.

And Perry won't leave and neither will Newt--not until they get through the south.

If Romney for any reason doesn't win, he won't get the nomination.

Romney is going to be the guy.

McCain did not win Iowa.

GOP = god's ordained politicians!

Why its romney, the guy who wears the special religious underwear!
He talks to the invisible man and the invisible man talks to him.

What did he say? Oh he said its going to be a good day!

Gee thanks I was beginning to wonder.... holy crap batman!

If Romney for any reason doesn't win, he won't get the nomination.

Put your money where your foot is.

And the messing with of said e-voting machines having been perfected by Republicans and/or foreigners who own and control the majority of the electronic voting machine companies.

I mean who can forget Republican Senator Chuck Hagel's "stunning" upset back in 1997 --

Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) was the past president of the company (AIS) that counted the votes in his first election and an investor in the company (ES&S) that counted the votes in his second election. At least four companies are foreign-owned: Sequoia (UK), Accenture/Election.com (UK Bermuda), EVS (Japan), and N.V. Nederlandsche Apparatenfabriek (Netherlands).

And this snippet found in the best non-partisan website EVER in continuing to address e-voting malfunctions and shennigans --

BLACK BOX VOTING.ORG

...The respected Washington, DC publication The Hill has confirmed that former conservative radio talk-show host and now Republican U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel was the head of, and continues to own part interest in, the company that owns the company that installed, programmed, and largely ran the voting machines that were used by most of the citizens of Nebraska....

Back when Hagel first ran there for the U.S. Senate in 1996, his company's computer-controlled voting machines showed he'd won stunning upsets in both the primaries and the general election. The Washington Post (1/13/1997) said Hagel's "Senate victory against an incumbent Democratic governor was the major Republican upset in the November election."

According to Bev Harris of www.blackboxvoting.org, Hagel won virtually every demographic group, including many largely Black communities that had never before voted Republican. Hagel was the first Republican in 24 years to win a Senate seat in Nebraska.

Six years later Hagel ran again, this time against Democrat Charlie Matulka in 2002, and won in a landslide. As his hagel.senate.gov website says, Hagel "was re-elected to his second term in the United States Senate on November 5, 2002 with 83% of the vote. That represents the biggest political victory in the history of Nebraska."

What Hagel's website fails to disclose is that about 80 percent of those votes were counted by computer-controlled voting machines put in place by the company affiliated with Hagel. Built by that company. Programmed by that company....

Blackboxvoting.org also talks about tonight's vote in Iowa. Worth the read.

I predict Romney will be the Republican candidate for President.

We all know the media will never allow Ron Paul to come out unscathed enough to be the Republican contender. Ron Paul has been too vocal about our not going to war with Iran on Israel's behalf for the Neocons to ever take a chance with him winning.

Santorum, Paul, Romney. Unless black-box voting "fixes" things.

I predict Romney will win and Danni will say something really really stupid.

Who will win in Iowa? New Hampshire.

Why waste your time watching that nonsense? Just like 4 years ago - we don't have ONE person that stands a chance of beating Obama. They threw it away by running McCain the last time - same thing in 2012. None of the current GOP picks can beat him.
The scariest thing is that now Obama will be the "don't give a shit" lame duck and will then go after the guns like you have never seen cuz he has nothing to lose.
Which is why gun sales went out of sight for this Christmas.
The only thing we Honest Hard working REAL Patriotic Americans have going for us is another 4 years of poking fun at bungholio.

-Just like 4 years ago - we don't have ONE person that stands a chance of beating Obama.

On top of that, look at the special interests....

Wall street, insurance, and big pharma are happy with Obama (why wouldn't they be?)

oil is doing just fine....same as the ag industry.

and the tea partiers are obstructing tax increases.

If I'm big special interest....why would I want Obama thrown out?

"That 41% is astounding btw.
#11 | Posted by MURPHY"

That 41% is a sad statement on the quality of the candidates involved. The top 3 finishers, according to your prediction are John Kerry II, an anti-contraception candidate and a guy who's core ideas are so far out there that his own for the most part disowned him in Congress.

Do you think Rick Perry still wants to be the Tim Tebow of the campaign?

#37 | Posted by CalifChris a

hate to burst the bubble--but they write the name on a piece of paper and counted manually.

And don't be surpised when this all done--that the ideas and cuts on spending of Ron are taken seriously and many adopted by Romney.

Why do keep harping and belittleing religious people,you even call them stupid ,thats not how to treat somebody that has faith in religion , just becacse you don't.

Here is my humble prediction for Iowa: Romney, Santorum, Paul, Gingrich, Perry and Bachmann.

Good call Muffy!
