Excerpt:
I posted my predictions for the Iowa caucuses right before I left work. On the home I started thinking about how ridiculous it would be for Obama to beat Edwards by 8%, so I decided to change them to make it closer. However, when I got home my internet wasn’t working and I couldn’t.
As it turns out, my predictions were darn close, getting the top 2 exactly right (though I had Richardson and Biden way too high and Clinton too low). My Republican predictions weren’t bad either, except I gave McCain too much support and not enough to Fred Thompson.
So here are my predictions for New Hampshire…
Democrats
1. Barack Obama 42%
2. Hillary Clinton 27%
3. John Edwards 24%
4. Bill Richardson 9%
Republicans
1. John McCain 32%
2. Mitt Romney 29%
3. Mike Huckabee 16%
4. Ron Paul 11%
5. Rudy Giuliani 9%
6. Fred Thompson 3%

Excerpt:
The Cornbelt Blather Boys have a pretty nifty caucus guide that outlines the pros and cons of the Republican candidates.
As the January 3rd Iowa caucuses approach, it has been reported that many voters are still undecided as who to vote for. Enter CBB’s handy dandy pocket, blog voting guide:
Mike Huckabee: Former Arkansas governor and Baptist minister.
Pros: Lost over 100 pounds, meaning there is less of him to dislike. Figuratively speaking.
Cons: Mike has over a thousand cons, as in he pardoned over a thousand convicts.
Mitt Romney: Former Massachusetts governor and Mormon.
Pros: America can always use another elitist, politician from Massachusetts to govern our lives.
Cons: How many lawyers does it take to invade a nation? Believes a lawyer should be consulted before he would take military action as President.
Ron Paul: Congressman from Texas
Pros: Maybe you missed the part where he’s from Texas? As a bonus, he’s an angry Texan.
Cons: As a strict Constitutionalist surely Ron Paul has observed his Presidency is not mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution.
Rudy Giuliani: Former mayor of New York City.
Pros: He’s been through two nasty divorces which, of course, makes him over qualified to handle diplomatic relations with rogue states like Iran and North Korea.
Cons: He is a Yankees fan.
Fred Thompson: Former senator and actor.
Pros: Starred in such movies as Days of Thunder and Aces: Iron Eagle III.
Cons: Starred in such movies as Days of Thunder and Aces: Iron Eagle III.
Good luck finding a good candidate in that bunch.

My addiction to Facebook has cooled down a bit after peaking over the summer. However, I still found this Republican Facebook parody site pretty hilarious.
Here’s a taste of what’s on the site….
 Fred Thompson added “Convincing everyone my presidential run isn’t really Method-style research for a movie role” to his Interests.
 John McCain is appealing to Ron Paul for fundraising tips.
Rudy Giuliani is wondering how he can fit 9/11 into a speech about agriculture policy.
Mitt Romney is shredding some old speeches.
 Mitt Romney joined the group “Pro-Lifers.”
Mitt Romney left the group “Pro-Choicers.”

Excerpt:
Political Wire has a rundown of the 3rd quarter fundraising numbers that have been reported so far.
- Sen. Barack Obama reports $19 million raised from 93,000 donors, according to The Politico.
- John Edwards raised $7 million and has $12 million in the bank, according to Marc Ambinder.
- Sen. John McCain reports $5 million raised — beating expectations — but the campaign is still more than $2 milliion in debt, according to The Politico.
- Gov. Bill Richardson reports $5.2 million, keeping him in the second tier of Democratic candidates, as noted earlier on Political Wire.
- Craig Crawford on Fred Thompson: “It looks like Republican White House hopeful Fred Thompson could flub yet another campaign test this week — at least in the eyes of the national media and other Beltway junkies. Word is that the former Tennessee senator, who is getting tepid reviews for his stump performances, will post unimpressive results for his first official fundraising quarter, just ended.”
MyDD reports some numbers from the top Republicans…
Fred Thompson will raise at least $8 million.
Mitt Romney is expected to raise about $15 million.
Rudy Giuliani’s take was expected to run about $10 million.
Daily Kos wrote that Romney again loaned himself $5 million from his personal fortune.

Excerpt:
Mike Huckabee is at it again. At first, I thought this was just Huckabee saying some nice things about the Clintons because they all came from Arkansas.
Then I read this quote…
Bill Clinton and Hillary went through some horrible experiences in their marriage, because of some of the reckless behavior that he has admitted he had. I’m not defending him on that — it’s indefensible. But they kept their marriage together. And a lot of the Republicans who have condemned them, and who talk about their platform of family values, interestingly didn’t keep their own families together.
Are you listening Rudy? Fred? Newt?
