Hillary will win a close contest in New Hampshire. 31% - 28% .

Political pundits will say that "she stopped Obama. "

McCain will win New Hampshire by 6% over Romney .

New Hampshire will be the last hurrah for Ron Paul and his supporters . He will do about 11% but he won't be any kind of factor from then on.

Clinton-Obama will be the democratic ticket.

Giuliani-Religious Right will be the republican ticket.

Computer voting will make Rudy the next president of the U.S. of A.

The fix is in.

Don't be surprised when it happens.

VI,

I hope you are wrong about that, although I understand where your coming from based on some of the flaws in the technology used today.

As to the topic of guessing the outcome:

NH: Obama will edge out Clinton by 3%, Edwards will drop out and endorse Obama (if not, then he might wait until SC).

MI: Clinton will win by a comfortable margin

NV: Obama will edge out Clinton

SC: Obama will edge out Clinton (Edwards drops out at the very latest)

FL: Clinton will win by a comfortable margin

Setting up for the show down on Super Tuesday

One thing that is still a bit clear is whether Florida and Michigan will even count because the DNC has penalized those two states for moving up their primaries.

Ron Paul to Participate in ABC News Debate
Texas Republican Representative Still Mad at Exclusion from Fox News Channel Forum
By Marisa Guthrie -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/4/2008 5:32:00 PM

ABC News finalized the roster of participants for Saturday�s Republican and Democratic debates in New Hampshire, and Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) -- who has a ... "small but vociferous following" ... and finished ahead of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the Iowa caucus Thursday -- will participate in the debate along with Giuliani, Rep. John McCain (R-Ariz.), former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

The face-off begins at 7 p.m.

Wow IGIG, that's exactly what this thread was about too.

Some people are so ignorant.

I love it. The conspiracy theorists just won't go away! Aren't you from Canada VI? Makes it even funnier.

I simply read what Americans write and the bare bones fact is: a man who has donated millions to the Republican party designed and has run presidental election electronic ballot systems.

I believe in coincidences, really I do.

But half a lifetime of experience, from grade school to journalism, has taught me that when it comes to power and money there are plenty of people eager and willing (and successful) at whispering together to circumvent the law to get what they want.

What is published in newspapers and shown on t.v. news is just a small fraction of the acts of bribery, corruption and collusion that goes on.

So don't be surprised. That's all I say. Wrap yourself in the flag and say the law will be followed and the election will be fair. That is a good thing to do. Have faith.

NH:

I think it's going to be Obama again. Edwards will do poorly here, I think.

Republicans, it's really up in the air. I think we'll see McCain and Romney close to a tie, with Romney barely beating him out. Huckabee in 3rd in Iowa.

Thompson will hopefully be seen through as just completely unelectable here. Can't believe Iowa gave him as much votes as they did. Must have been a decent segment of the population who are just Law&Order fans, and not to keen on listening to political speeches, and didn't actually hear him speak.

TB,

I tend to agree with you, Fred Thompson is going to finish poorly in NH and drop out.

For the Republicans, my guess is:

McCain
Romney
Huckabee
Giuliani
Thompson
Paul
Hunter

I predict no matter how badly Ron Paul does in NH, he won't fail to beat Huckabee, seriously marginalizing the Arkansan's candidacy.

Obama will edge out Clinton in NH, and Clinton will have to win in MI and FL just to hang on.

Have the voting computers been made available for independent inspection?

I know about the owner of the company that makes the computers being a Republican party donor, but does it stop there? What efforts have been made to ensure "non-partisanship"?

Seems the Dems would be a little interested in this matter. Is this another C.T.?

McCain will win the nomination and be the next president. There are just too many Americans who will not vote for a black or a woman.
