Predictions for Saturday’s contests

Â
My record of prognostications is a little spotty this season, but here’s where I make my big comeback.
In the South Carolina Republican primary, John McCain will benefit from blowback against the crap the extremists are throwing at him (see HERE) and will edge out Mike Huckabee. Fred Thompson will finish a weak third.
Barack Obama will win the Democratic primary in the Palmetto State by a sizable margin over Hillary Clinton. John Edwards, a South Carolina native, will fare poorly.
It’ll be much closer in the Democratic caucuses in Nevada. I’m picking Obama to eke out a victory, but I wouldn’t make any big bets on it.
Mitt Romney will win in Nevada by a wide margin.
UPDATE: Upon further reflection, and in light of the latest polls, I’m changing my outlook on the Democratic caucuses in Nevada to “too close to call” between Clinton and Obama. Edwards remains out of it.
