My political predictions are usually wrong...

But why not try again? In Iowa tonight, supporters of candidates declared non-viable will help Obama take the most delegates. Clinton will come in second, followed by Edwards, Richardson, Biden, and Dodd, in that order

i hope you're right!

This is startlingly accurate. I have to admit, I was surprised that Obama won by as much as he did. I was not surprised by Huckabee's win.

I'm glad that my half-assed punditry startles a hardened New Hampshire resident such as yourself. And speaking of NH, are you willing to publicly (if my LJ could be called that) declare who you are going to vote for on Tuesday?

Well, it goes like this. I felt willing to throw my vote at Dennis Kucinich because I consider him a principled statesman. Then two things happened. The results of the caucus made me understand the reality that the man has no chance. I really, really hate that horse race mentality, because to me 'electablility' has no meaning. At any rate, before the caucus Dennis Kucinich said that if it was the case that he did not gather the 15% necessary, that delegates should get behind Obama. He was my second choice to begin with, but what amounts to an endorsement from Kucinich propelled me to decide to vote for Obama.

So yeah, short answer: Obama.
