Tomorrow I see it going this way: Newtmentum continues and he wins w/ about 30 per cent of the vote. Mittens finishes second w/ 25 per cent, Santorum third, w/ 20%, and Paul last, hot on Santorum's heels.

Also, in another political note:
Before the sad news about the majestic Etta James, the big video today was Obama singing Al Green at the Apollo last night. I first saw the video on Fox and Friends this morning (Fox and Friends is arguably the worst of all the Fox programs) and their take was initially positive until they slipped in a teleprompter crack and then skirted dangerously w/ a dogwhistle of their own, talking about how Obama can obviously dance and sing. Then they got in to a knock-down drag out fight w/ the great Debbie Wasserman Schultz about Mittens, Obama, and Bain.
Ciao!
UPDATE! (1/22/12): I am still doing v well, so far. I got the order right and was somewhat close on Santorum and Mittens' percentages. My biggest mistake was underestimating Newtmentum, I missed his total by ten per cent! I also overestimated for Ron Paul.
Newt's speech was particularly offensive, it included a Jimmy Carter crack, and he is still going on about food stamps (on practically his home turf, albeit.) Nick C and I really need to get going on our "Jimmy Carter" t-shirts! The shirt would have a cut-out of Carter's head on the front and say simply, "Jimmy Carter was right" on the back. (If you get a chance, check out Carter's so-called, "malaise" speech -- the word malaise was never used -- again on YouTube. Carter really was right and it was the 1980 election -- think about if Anderson had not run! -- that really fucked this country up.)
This is still Mittens' race to lose, though. And he is releasing two years of tax returns on Tuesday. It does not look good for Santorum. I think he is the next to drop out. Paul will stay in this thing at least until Texas, I am sure.
AH
