Nevada

This is a tricky one. But whatever, I've been dumb so far.

Romney wins on the Republican side. Nevada is a local stronghold for him, second probably only to Utah. I'd figure McCain, then Huckabee after Romney. Rudy will slip below Huckabee.

Edwards will come in third among the Democrats. (There, that was easy.) I have a really hard time handicapping Nevada because it's a caucus and it isn't a state that obsesses about caucuses, like Iowa does. But... I think Clinton over Obama.

Meanwhile, in South Carolina, Huckabee should win it. McCain will come in second. Romney will come in third. Fred Thompson will come in fourth, and trumpet it as a victory. All that leaves the field a complete mess on the Republican side, with McCain the increasingly likely establishment candidate.

WoW Geekery
