Worthless predictions post for NV caucuses
There's no way to post an accurate prediction based on polling- NH demonstrated that, and NV is even riskier as it's a first time caucus state, but what the hell.

My prediction is based largely on gut feeling, and I wish my gut weren't telling me what it is. Hopefully I'm wrong. Here's my prediction:

Clinton- 37%
Edwards- 31%
Obama- 29%

1. Does the Nevada caucus follow the 15% threshold rule?
I doubt it would have much effect one way or the other, only Kucinich will get less than 15.

My worthless prediction:

Edwards wins one!--35
Obama--33
Clinton--32

6. roughly follows it- I've heard that it's not uniformly 15% but
I don't really know. Still, in some caucuses, one or the other of the major 3 might not get to the threshold.

4. Switch Edwards and Clinton and you have mine ...
Obama takes this one, Edwards then takes South Carolina.

5. WIth the AF Amer. Support forming around Obama like it has, Edwards won't stand a chance in SC.
Especially if Obama wins Nevada. Not only would he have the momentum, but he already has a decent size lead there, and African Americans are going to him in huge numbers. He should get at least 30% of the total vote in African American support alone.

7. kick
look's like I got the order right, but not the numbers. Spread between O and C might not end up too far off.
