Note: KB; I Really Respect Your Opinion
The Iowa results are in, and my predictions in earlier threads were solid, but not exact. My predictions were:
1) Romney 23-25% (Moderate White Collar Vote)
2) Paul 20-23% (Highly Enthusiastic Under 30 Vote)
3) Santorum 16% (Evangelical Vote)
The actual results:
Santorum: 25%
Romney: 25%
Paul: 21%
My predictions on the exact Romney/Paul votes were 100% on target.
How-ever, Santorum way over preformed any available information. Under my analysis, Santorum placed 3rd, but Bachman and Perry under-preformed. Those votes went to Santorum, and only showed up in the data when we found out that 31% of the uncommited voters were switching to Santoum, in the entrance polling.
Romney has the organization and money, but Santorum seems to have the "grass roots" support. Do you see that eroding with front-runner scrutiny and a loss in New Hampshier? Will his fire-wall be the culturally conservative South Caralina? And what other forces do you see at play?
