Changed into your tee-shirt and sweats? Checked the cupboards to make sure you're stocked up on tequila and popcorn? Got your calculator and digital pencil ready? Got the Plexiglas shield in place to keep your cat off the keyboard? Told the eye-rollers in your household that they can take a hike for the duration of the evening while you plot the course of the Republican presidential field?
Okay, then. Time for predictions. But first, a prediction from the guy who won the last primary, Newton Leroy Gingrich:
“If you watch tonight, my prediction is the conservative vote will be dramatically bigger than Governor Romney’s,” he said. “So we’ve got to find a way to consolidate conservatives, and I’m clearly the front-runner among conservatives.”
But Mr. Gingrich also predicted early returns would suggest a Romney cakewalk because of voters who cast their ballots before Mr. Gingrich’s victory in South Carolina 10 days ago.
“I can tell you now the early vote will all look very good for Romney because it’s the absentees, where he spent millions of dollars before we got here,” Mr. Gingrich said at a campaign stop later Tuesday morning.
That's a good bet considering that the Romney team concentrated a sophisticated campaign on early voters. Just over half a million Floridians requested absentee ballots for the primary; only 200,000 did so in 2008.
So, with the polls ready to close, here's your chance. No points for picking Romney, Gingrich, Santorum and Paul in that order. Margins, it's all about margins.
