Yesterday Aurelius made his Iowa Caucus prediction – and so did the readers.
My prediction:
Cruz– 28.4
Trump– 26.8
Rubio– 21.7
Carson– 7.2
Oh, and for fun:
Hillary: 50.2%
Sanders: 49.6%
O’Malley: .2%
Here are the final results from Iowa:
I’m going to the racetrack with Aurelius later this evening. Anyone want to come?
I didn’t check the thread. Did anyone do better? Speak up, because I’ll send a car for you to meet us at the track.
Aurelius is related to Nostradamus, no?
Aurelius did better than the talking heads on the various channels I watched. Does he have access to the Microsoft tabulation app? Or an inside track on polling data? Or channel 7’s HD Doppler 7000? Or maybe he is just really good at reading chicken entrails.
Whatever his secret, please have Aurelius post his Super Bowl line.
Jeb! got a delegate! Poppa Bush must be proud.
— Jeb! ‘One Delegate’ Bush —
That is handicapping it pretty tight, nicely done Aurelius!
I had 24, 20, 20, 10
but switched Win and Place.
Horses, greyhounds, or roaches?
That seems to be about what the polls stated a few weeks back before the Poll Meisters suddenly proclaimed a yuge surge by Trump! As Confucius say: Sum Ting Wong!
You wouldn’t BELIEVE how difficult it is to read chicken entrails!
+/- 2%? Well within acceptable margins of error.
Congrats! And good luck at the races. (Now if y’all could just pick the next PowerBall winning numbers. . . . )
I thought of Aurelius’s prediction last night when the final results came in. Maybe he should change his handle to Oracle.
Cruz 28% 27.6% +0.4
Trump 22% 24.3% -2.3
Rubio 21% 23.1% -2.1
Carson 16% 9.3% +7.7
Not too bad, but I can do better. Way over estimated Carson’s support.
May I here tell that tight ass M.S. that Ted Cruz won? Ted Cruz won! Ted Cruz won! This radio host who has been promoting Trump since day one. Today, I turned it on and he was playing Ted Cruz’ praise to the Lord first of all. He then said do you want to put up with another 10 months of this? I’d say he was a practical atheist, but then he’s too smart for that.
Oh, BTW, Ted Cruz won!!!
Big wow, he won puny, unimportant Iowa. That’s like winning the dirty diaper contest. Just 56 more states to go!
Funny.

When I was reading the comments, I thought yours would come really close to the outcomes. Maybe BFH should take you to the track instead of me
Pretty damn good.
Carolina -5.5, over/under is 44.5
Thoughts ?
Well, I predictated Gilmore and O’Malley!
Shouldn’t I get a prize, too?
Good job, Joey. You participated – pick up your trophy on the way out.
Bob Dole caucuses in IA ? Who knew?!
You left out the most pertinent number:
American people = 0%
