LEAD (Revised)
This is MJB’s call of the winner, there only can be one, and losers, the also rans, in the Iowa Primary for Tuesday, January 3, 2012:
1. Newt Gingrich
2. Rick Santorum
3. Herman Cain
4. Rick Perry
5. John Huntsman
6. Mitt Romney
7. Michelle Bachmann
8. Ron Paul
Comment
What do you think?
Do you think it’s between Romney and Paul as the polls and commentators have suggested?
Hint: the polls and the commentators could be wrong!
Will the outcomes in Iowa set the stage for the wins and losses in upcoming primaries?

Cryptic, no? Is that supposed to be the order of finish you predict? I hope not. I can’t see Paul finishing behind Cain and Bachman…

Differences of opinion are welcomed.
If it’s the case that conservatives want a solid candidate who has a chance to defeat President Obama, then the only contender worth serious consideration is Newt.
The other folks on my list are positioned where I think they will be when the votes are counted.

The Des Moines REDgister will publish their predictions Saturday. Sad to say, they are kind of successful in their predictions. (I’m from Iowa originally and have gone through the caucus process.)

And, if I am close, I will be flattered.

I disagree wildly with the predicted order of finish, yet note that the caucus process is so bizarre as to allow almost any outcome.

Ok!
But, I got into the game, and enjoyed it.
As it turns out my list was not that bad.
