I'd say Romney, followed by Paul and Santorum.

Alaska is notoriously unpredictable, idiosyncratic, and difficult to poll. Remember however that this is the same electorate that elected Joe Miller. I think Santorum is favored at this point, though I wouldn't rule out a Romney or even a Paul victory.

Santorum but I imagine that it will be a close, three-way race between him, Romney and Paul.

Just looked up the 2008 results, kind of interesting actually:

Romney 36%
Huckabee 22%
Paul 17%
McCain 16%

Paul is the only one visiting the state. I guess Romney will win but I'm sure there's potential for some weirdness to happen.

I'll wait to see what happens in WA, but I would pick Santorum if I had to.

Romney has to be considered the odds-on favorite by default but it's a guessing game to end all guessing games

I think Alaska might actually have the best record since 1980 of voting for candidates who do *not* go on win the nomination.  They've gone for Ted Kennedy, Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson, Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, and Mitt Romney 2008.

Actually, come to think of it, Michigan might have them beat.  But I'm too lazy to look that up now.

Probably Santorum, but I'm hoping Paul wins as a giant F.U. to Palin.

No idea.
Just like North Dakota (I remember the 2008 cycle,one of the Dakotas had polling going strongly for Obama and then Hillary won).

I really don't see how Romney wins Alaska, unless it's a lot wealthier and suburban than I think it is. It seems like a tailor-made Santorum (or Paul because it's a caucus) state.

Well, by that criteria, Alaska is one of the wealthiest states (4th-highest median income according to wiki), and nearly the entire population lives in a few cities, but it still doesn't "feel" like Romney country to me.
