The night of the Iowa Caucuses in ’04, I was two-fisting Jaeger and Goldschlager on my news editor’s couch. By the time it happened, I was thoroughly in the bag and thought, “Fuck, that man’s done.”

The next morning, I wondered if I had some sort of cirrhosis-based hallucination. Fortunately, not this time.

Consider, Thompson wasn't even in the race ten seconds ago, but it is now considered by many to be the front runner. Gingrich could jump in, Gore could jump in, Thompson's (or other candidates') health could fail. Obama could go back to doing smack again - I see some great Dean Scream, Muskie Cry, or other historical type gaffe's coming. As for what might happen this time next Spring in the presidential primaries, this is not a bad forecast, but as I say, predicting the whether this far out is not worth too much.

And John Kerry locked up the establishment. But John Edwards won the state. I don't know about the GOP (I'll stick to handicapping the party that i know about), but in the Democratic race, you can't pick a winner until December or January.
