My Predictions for tomorrow.
I predicted recent primaries right (Wisconsin down to the exact percent). We'll see if that trend continues. These contests are a little more difficult for me to gauge, so I'll predict a margin of victory range for the two candidates. My predictions:

Texas: Obama wins by 15-20%, closer to 15. If I had to pinpoint it, 16%.
Ohio: Obama wins by 6-11%, closer to 6. If I had to pinpoint it, 7%.
Vermont: Obama wins by 63-73%. If I had to pinpoint it, 66%.
Rhode Island: Either could win. Clinton by 0-6% or Obama by 0-6%. If I had to pinpoint it, Clinton by 4%.

2. I agree with those numbers
I think Obama wins 3 out of the 4-still won't be enough to convince Clinton to drop out-watch....

3. No way. We will lose OH and if we win TX, it'll be by less than 6%.

16. You were just as sure about Maine, and just as wrong as you are about Texas.
Why don't you remind everyone of how badly you missed Maine, and how stridently you told everyone you were right for the week before it?

Or was it Wisconsin you missed by 15-20 points?

5. That's not going to happen
Clinton appears strong in Ohio...it would be epic if she loss there tomarrow. I think it'll be 2-2...Obama wins Texas by a small margin and Vermont. Clinton wins Ohio and Rhode Island.

Clinton campaign makes an excuse to go on to April 22.

15. There is no EXCUSE!
Unless she wins 100 delegates tomorrow the supers will finish this.

There is no going to April 22 unless Clinton wants to just stay in for no reason. And by then her political future will be destroyed.

8. I see Hillary winning the popular vote in 3 of 4
She's definitely going to win Ohio by around 8-10%, RI by about the same margin, and she'll win the popular vote in Texas, but may split the delegates about evenly with Barack. Barack will probably win VT by around 6-8%. The family feud will continue, leading to the destruction of the Democratic party.

10. Please, Please
I'll take your bet...

I'll wager a one hundred dollar contribution to DU if you give me those numbers as a "point spread" like they do on athletic events...

13. As much as I'd like to see that happen, I don't think that is realistic.
Especially the Texas margins.
Living in central Pa, tomorrow makes a big
difference for us. We're all really watching to see
how much ground work we will have to do in April.
And hoping that no matter the results, Obama will
come to central Pa (and not just Harrisburg and Philly).
We need to get the Dem base here in "Alabama" fired up
and ready to go, and Obama can do that.

14. You have almost the exact numerical predictions I would have said. +- 1 point.
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 12:24 PM by Thurston Howell III
Wow. Let's see. I think Hillary by 5% in R.I. Good luck.

20. My prediction for Wednesday morning
Joe Scarborough will sport an on-air hard-on, slobbering over Clinton's popular vote win in Ohio.
