According to these numbers, the winners were: Obama, McCain, and Huckabee. The losers were Clinton, Romney, and Edwards. Too close to call were Giuliani and Paul. Not even on the radar was my favorite, Fred Thompson, who refuses to talk in sound bites for the media. I hope his strategy works.

I wonder which will prove to be more accurate this year, the Scientific Polls or the Prediction Markets?
