Okay, we've had some fun with these so far. Same rules as New Hampshire; pick four candidates (four, Lefty Sergeant) from each party, and list them in the order you expect them to finish. You will receive 20 points for correctly picking the winner, 15 points for correctly picking the runner up, 10 for picking the bronze medalist, and 5 points for the also-ran. If your candidate does not finish where you expected to him, but is only one position off, you will receive half the points. I will allow picks and changes stamped up until 8:00 AM Eastern Time on Saturday morning. My choices:
Republicans:
1. McCain
2. Huckabee
3. Thompson
4. Romney
Democrats:
1. Obama
2. Clinton
3. Edwards
4. Kucinich

has Gulliani died? I read he's pinning everything on florida....but a series of single digit limps into last place prior to that is hardly good publicity for his campaign....

Oh PLEASE don't let Huckabee win my state. We're stereotyped down here enough as it is. :(

Nevada is also having a caucus on the 19th, btw. I guess SC is getting more media attention, though.

Semi-Official Results:
Brainster: Winner with all four spots in both parties correct, 100 points
AndyAndy, Firestone: 92.5 points. Both slipped on the third and fourth positions on the Republican side.
Rtalman: 70 points. Missed the same as the above, and also had Clinton winning the Democratic side.
Spindrift: 67.5. Neither Teddy nor Franklin Roosevelt were running.
Puppycow: 65. Missed the order of the top two on both sides.
MaGZ: 60. Although there were some reports that Edwards might catch Clinton, he did not.
TAM: 52.5. Somebody's gotta be last; the only position that our old buddy got right was third place on the Democrats side.
