Just for fun and for Hillary supporters:

If the writers of "The Good Wife" are any good at predicting the future, Hillary Clinton is going to have a big night when Iowans caucus for their Democratic presidential nominee on Feb. 1.

The CBS show portrayed a fictional version of the caucus in Sunday's episode, "Iowa." One of the show's main characters, the fictional Illinois Gov. Peter Florrick, is running for president - but his competition is made up of real-life candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley.

The show portrays the final days of Florrick's campaign, when he is attempting to pull off a "full Grassley." Nicknamed for Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, who travels the entire state annually, candidates must visit all 99 of Iowa's counties. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum was the first candidate to do so during the 2012 election, and he ultimately eked out a win in the caucus.

<snip>

The big winner in "Good Wife" world: Clinton, who captured 51 counties. Sanders, the independent Vermont senator, wins 27 counties and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley wins 17 counties.

I can throw in the towel and not bother to vote at all now. The Inevitable one has it.
