Pundit Scorecard

It seems like the public is intent on rebutting any idea the pundit industry advances:

Perry is a big challenger because he has a good Texas record and money falling out of his pockets; oops

Rick Santorum is an also-ran at the edge of the stage; except that he won Iowa;

Romney has conceded Iowa; but for 13 days he was the winner;

Romney can't break the 25% threshold; but he doubled everyone in NH

Newt is out to destroy the party and himself by going on the attack against Romney - he's simply being vindictive, and has no chance to win; but he got a 13 point win in SC.

I wonder what narrative will emerge about the Fla. primary - and how wrong it will be.

Regards,

D-Ray

Almost as bad as the predictions we get from economists.

They said Tebow was no good and he won a bunch of games. Then the pundits came around and said Tebow was, in fact, good. He then gets hammered by Tom Brady.

I might be crazy, but Florida is looking good for Newt.

1) He tends to support NOT changing Social Security or making budget cuts to medicare calling it right wing social engineering.

2) In comparison to the other candidates, he's been throwing the Latino community a bone when it comes to illegal immigration.

So do conservative minorities and retirees lean his way now?
