Post 7 - Due 1/20

It's time to make predictions...

Who will win the Iowa caucus (2/1)?
Who will win the New Hampshire primary (2/9)?

You can answer for either the Democrats but must answer for the Republicans.  You can answer for one or both states.  You will need a minimum of 3 pieces of evidence for this post.  I suggest pollingreport.com, the Des Moines Register and the New Hampshire Union Leader as sources to consult.

I look forward to reading your predictions and seeing who is right.  :)
