No Real Reasoning Behind This...

I have no real reason behind these predictions. They are just my gut saying what it thinks. At least, what it thinks in early February of 2007, about the first four contests of the Democratic Party and the order the candidates finish.


Iowa Caucus

Edwards
Clinton
Obama
Vilsack (who leaves the race after this)
Dodd
Richardson
Clark
Biden
Kucinich
Gravel


Nevada Caucus

Richardson
Edwards
Obama
Clinton (news stories flying around how Hillary is going down)
Clark
Dodd
Biden
Kucinich
Gravel

South Carolina

Edwards
Obama
Clinton
Biden (who drops out after this as the polls in New Hampshire do not look good, and he has been building a stand here for over a year.)
Clark
Richardson
Dodd
Kucinich
Gravel

New Hampshire

Clinton (news story: she finally wins one.)
Obama
Edwards
Richardson
Dodd (who is out and should have been long ago.)
Clark (who is out and should have never run.)
Gravel (yes, Gravel will beat someone at sometime.)
Kucinich

In the end, it will be four candidates heading into Super, Super Tuesday: Clinton, Obama, Edwards and Richardson. In the end, I have no clue who the Presidential nominee will be. But I predict that Gov. Richardson will be the Vice-President candidate.
