The Unpredictable Race


The race for President is becoming harder and harder to predict. A few weeks ago I said that it appears as if the Republican race is between just Romney and Giuliani. However, that has completely changed. Mike Huckabee has become a serious contender, John McCain is making a comeback, and rumor has it that Fred Thompson is creeping up in Iowa.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has now lost her lead in Iowa and slipping in New Hampshire. Barack Obama has been doing very well, and even John Edwards is polling well in Iowa.

I don't think anyone has ever seen a Presidential election like this one. Both sides are unpredictable. I once believed we would see Hillary vs. Rudy, but I don't know if that's the case anymore. Giuliani has barely been able to hold on to his national lead, and while Clinton has a big lead nationally she has lost big leads in early voting states.

If I was running, I would either want to be Barack Obama or John McCain. Obama has a lot of momentum and has taken advantage of Hillary's campaign mistakes. McCain has come back and doing very well in New Hampshire, picking up many newspaper endorsements. With less than two weeks until the Iowa Caucus, who knows what's going to happen.
