UPDATE: After winning the Iowa prediction contest, “flatiron” damn-near did it again in New Hampshire. We agree with “Phoenix Rising” on this one, however, and declare “vanbarbee” to be the champeen of our New Hampshire contest.
Congratulations, “vanbarbee.” Email us with your mailing address (alva@coloradopols.com), and the Jim Gilmore button will soon be yours to cherish.
Last week Colorado Pols held a contest to predict the outcome of the Iowa caucuses, and several readers ended up being this close to getting the final numbers correct. Pols’ reader “flatiron” ended up winning the coveted Jim Gilmore for President button (which we may or may not have forgotten to mail until today).
Tonight is the New Hampshire Primary, so let’s get to guessing once again. We have one more Gilmore for President button for the winner.
To enter the contest: Copy the sample “ballot” below, insert your predictions, and paste it back into the comments section. Please don’t forget to include the percentage of the vote that you are predicting for each candidate — vote percentages will be used as the tiebreaker to determine a winner.
If you need some rough numbers for comparison, here’s the results from the 2008 New Hampshire Primary, and here are the final numbers from the final CNN/WMUR tracking poll.
*Entries must be entered into the comments section of this post by 5:00 pm today in order to be eligible to win the totally-rad Gilmore button.

All Republicans should be deeply embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that the oaf, Trump, spewer of crass vulgar language in the service of his abhorrent detail free policies, fact free assertions, adolescent bragging and insults to entire segments of the American citizenry has even 1% of their support, much less coming in first and second in the first two caucuses and still sitting at the top of all national polls of Republican preference. For that matter, so should all Americans. He makes us an international laughing stock. This is the lowest point to which we've sunk in living memory. In no past election has anyone ever succeeded to this extent by this stage with such a complete absence of, or even any effort at pretence to, a shred of apparent dignity, gravitas or statesmanship. Incredible.
