JacksonHitchcock, Hillary isn't dead. It was Bill who died.

[Orwell]

Alright. Seeing the large amount of extension requests, the turn is extended to Monday, 13 August, at 11:59 PM Central Time.

Prediction:
Blue: Haslam
Red: Sharipo
Green: Scalise
Yellow: Amash
Gray: Abbott

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Prediction:
Blue: Haslam
Red: Sharipo
Green: Scalise
Yellow: Amash
Gray: Abbott

Scalise has yet to campaign and I've chatted with Transit he has stated that he might drop out. Walker would probably be the one in Green. also, I don't think Conservative heavy Iowa would go for a Libertarian like Amash unless he Does a MAJOR Shift right. IMO, Haslam would be able to sweep much of the South, Walker sweeps Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana, maybe a few more states, Shapiro captures many western states except Utah while Amash does well in Michigan, and New England except in NH. WV will be close between Haslam and Shapiro though.

[Orwell]

Amash is running on "Taxation is Theft" I dont think he will get very far TBH

Prediction:

Red: Sharipo
Green: Scalise
Yellow: Amash
Gray: Abbott

Ron Paul got within 5% of winning Iowa in 2012 and only the northwest part of the state is the heavily conservative part. If Haslam wants to win in Iowa then he has to overperform in the Des Moine sub. If Greg Abbott wants to win Iowa then he has to win the Evangelical vote in the Northwest and close the gap between him and Haslam in Council Bluff. Now if Amash wants to win he just needs to win in the college towns around Iowa City and let the conservative vote be split between Abbott, Scalise, and Sharipo and then he will win.

Also, Libertarians do very well in Nevada, Washington, Vermont, and Minnesota as you can tell when looking at where Ron Paul did the best in 2012 and 2008 and where Gary Johnson overperformed in 2016. Sharipo's best bet for winning the nomination is focusing on later states instead of early states like California, New York and Texas where he would perform much better because of the unusually high conservative primary turnout in those states and because of the high amount of college students.

Haslam will probably not sweep the south because he is a moderate and the south is heavily conservative. Scalise is the most conservative candidate in the race other than Abbott but with Abbott not campaigning I don't presume he will stay in the race which would give Scalise alot more supporters.

Now in West Virginia, I am predicting a comfortable win from Shapiro because only he is the populist except for Amash who isn't spending any money there and West Virginia is a very populist state.

Bored. Anyone wants to do Haslam v Kaine that isn't me or Jason Hitchcock?

I will make a map later but it will be very, very close and it will really depend if Amash goes Libertarian and if there is an economic crisis

For the Second bit, considering how hard HCP is pushing it, it's likely to happen

If there's an economic crisis Kaine won't be the nominee...and a Republican almost certainly will win in November.

Unless the Crisis happens after the Conventions, which happened in 2008 for McCain who was acting like a Bush**te until then

Gray: Abbott

I think Amash is more likely to win New Hampshire than Iowa, honestly...

Anyone want to do one for the Democratic primary?

Haslam currently leads in New Hampshire and would likely win due to NH being more Moderate than Libertarians, like Haslam

I said more likely, not that Amash would win either state.

I would do a Democratic primary but I just don't know enough about the state's voting blocks other than race and religion
