Time to pony up and make your predictions for tonight.

[RandySF]

I'm going to bite the bullet and say that Romney wins by a hair after a late night of counting. So close, I think, that there may be a recount. Ok. what do you think?

[VWolf]

1. Rmoney squeaks by Santorum n/t

[Vincardog]

2. I say Icky Ricky wins (but doesn't get it) Think of Gore in Florida or Kerry in Ohio

The GOP Knows how to steal elections.

[arbusto_baboso]

8. That was exactly my thought.

Santorum will actually win, but the GOP will declare Romney victorious.

[Vincardog]

12. That is a the cartoon. Santorum jetting ahead of Romney and leaving the GOP covered in Santorum

[MineralMan]

3. One of the Clowns Will Win.

That's my prediction.

[Bruce Wayne]

18. Yes, but which one's the riddler and which one's the joker?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Obama wins. The laugh-a-thon campaign loses.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. Santorum Surges over Rmoney.

[HopeHoops]

6. We'll probably have leftovers for dinner, maybe some wine, and then the whoopie!

I like that last part best.

[Swamp Lover]

7. Santorum puls out a whiskers victory in Michigan sending the primary into panic.

Primary is prolonged and the GOP goes into full scale Civil War around convention time.

In addition, I fear a fungal blight might injure the dogwoods in my backyard. I should try to do something about the leaves under my trees but this wild weather and school responsibilities have me hectic.

[gopiscrap]

9. In Arizona: Romney wins

In Michigan Romney winds by 6 votes

[MoonRiver]

10. I think Romney in Michigan, but maybe by more than a hair,

primarily because of early voting.

Edit: Romney wins AZ handily.

[Lemonwurst]

11. Romney winning by a hair is maybe the best possible outcome.

If he loses Michigan outright, a brokered convention is much more possible. The MSM would love that as a story line between now and the summer, which could in turn cause high-roller financiers to hold off spending money on Romney. As far as I'm concerned, let them pour millions into Richie Rich, only to have him survive as a weak and battered nominee.

If he wins by less than 4-percent tonight, I think that would confuse the GOP power brokers. His campaign will crow like he's crushed Santorum. There will be talk of "momentum" having both Arizona and Michigan technically in his Win column. But Super Tuesday will likely bruise him anew - so let's keep this roller-coaster going, I say.

[Patsy Stone]

13. Romney 2-0

Although I hope I'm wrong -- just to enjoy prolonging the drama.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. You said "pony"

That term has been found to be offensive to some on DU.

[Bruce Wayne]

19. Thank you. It should read "Equine Americans"

and in America, it doesn't matter if it's a horse of a different color.

(well plaid, sir, well plaid)

[backscatter712]

15. Romney squeaks by through election fraud.

Just like in Iowa and Maine.

[Bozita]

16. Sanctimonium comes from behind. Final thrust brings earth-shaking victory in Michigan.

[kctim]

17. That's a good one, lol

from behind
final thrust
earth-shaking

[morningfog]

20. Arizona is easy: Romney and it is winner take all. Michigan:

I am going to predict a very close race, late night before the winner is determined.

I think it will be Santorum. The vote rates will be around Santorum 39%, Romney 38%, Paul 13%, and Newt at 10%.

Michigan delegation allotment rules will give Paul and Gingrich zero delegates for not reaching the 15% threshold.

Santorum will get 2-4 more delegates than Romney. SO Santorum will get 16-17, Romney will get 13-14.

Or, it could go the other way, heehee.

No matter what, Romney will not get a bump or momentum, he failed in MI, his home state, even with a win.

[LanternWaste]

21. Romney by 3.5% (self-styled margin of error: .5%)

Romney by 3.5% (self-styled margin of error: .5%)

Santorum is scaring too many businessmen on the right.

[blue_onyx]

22. Romney will win AZ

In MI, Santorum wins narrowly.

Santorum: 40%
Romney: 39%
Paul: 12%
Gingrich: 8%

[WI_DEM]

23. Santorum 41% Romney 40% Paul 12% Grinch 7% (Michigan)

as for Arizona probably Romney by 9

[sofa king]

24. Romney will claim victory in the press...

...and then wind up giving Arizona and Michigan back to Santorum before April.

[sofa king]

30. Well, that's clearly wrong.

The best I can hope for now is being half-right with Michigan.

[taught_me_patience]

25. Romney easily wins Arizona loses Michigan

His super PACs go nuts and carpet bomb super tuesday states with negative ads. The businessmen will be real scared.

[RZM]

26. Romney wins Arizona by 8-10 points. He wins Michigan by 1-2 n/t

[ellisonz]

27. +1

[nadine_mn]

28. Santorum will win...Dems will

Vote just for shits and giggles with a little prodding from Michael Moore.

It will be a meltdown and good tv

[Hugabear]

29. Santorum wins Michigan, then is Raptured away during his victory speech

Hey, we can all dream, right?
