I’m paying somewhat less attention to the election this time around.  I’m somewhat interested, but none of the candidates have really captured me.  To give you an idea of my level of interest, I’m following the news and some pseudo-political blogs, but I’m not following any pure-politics blogs, and I haven’t even stayed up for any primary results…

Here’s my prediction (historically, my political predictions are completely wrong):  I predict that both parties’ candidates will basically be determined by the primaries on Feb. 5 in a pseudo-national primary.  This is more democratic than the usual method,  but it gives tremendous advantage to those with big war chests.
