So out with it....How accurate were your predictions....?
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 12:04 PM by Flabbergasted
I was predicting:

1.) Edwards
2.) Obama
3.) Clinton


I didn't think Obama would win so decisively.

6. I expected Obama, Clinton, Edwards...
and I thought Obama and Clinton would be fighting it out over first place, rather than Clinton and Edwards fighting it out over second.

9. I was half right....I had it Hillary and Obama at the top within 1 or 2 points...
Edwards 8 back...

I got that right...just didn't expect Hillary back there too...

By the way I was scoffed at by Edwards supporters for saying he woul dbe that far back

14. Pretty good
Thought Obama would win by a good margin and Edwards slightly ahead of Clinton
though I thought (hoped) Biden would have gotten a a respectable 4th

20. I was wrong about Huckabee. I really thought organization would win in Iowa.
I thought Romney had enough organization to overcome someone like Huckabee in Iowa. I was wrong.

22. I was 100% right
We're never going to leave the middle east.
We're never going to have not for profit health care.
We're never going to really fight the military industrial complex.
We the people will never win.

24. I had the order right.. margins wrong...
I really thought Obama would win, and Clinton would finish 3rd.. but I definitely didn't expect him to win by 8 or 9%.. i had it more like 27%, 29%, 32% for Obama.

I was pleasantly surprised!

25. I thought Edwards would sweep Iowa, Obama would take second,
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 12:40 PM by youthere
and a second tier would dislodge Clinton for third. I was right in that, I did not believe Clinton would beat Obama or Edwards.

27. You wouldn't know about so many 'independents' showing up!
Hmm, I wonder if they were mostly Repubs wanting to make sure Edwards didn't win. Just a thought.
