Fantasy Primary
January 19, 2004
It's like politics mixed with fantasy sports. Predict when each of the Democratic candidates will drop out of the race.
Some signigicant dates for reference:
Jan 19 - Iowa caucus
Jan 27 - NH primary
Feb 3 - Ariz, NM, Del, Missouri, ND, Okla, SC
Feb 7 - Michigan
Feb 8 - Maine
Feb 10 - Tenn, Virginia
Feb 14 - Nev
Feb 17 - Wisc
Feb 24 - Hawaii, Idaho, Utah
March 2 - Cali, NY, Conn, Geo, Mary, Mass, Minn, Ohio, RI, Ver
March 9 - Fla, Lou, Miss, Texas
Who's left:
Clark
Dean
Edwards
Gephardt
Kerry
Kucinich
Lieberman
Sharpton
(We already lost Amb. Carol Mosely-Braun.)
Post predictions in the comments. The winner will get, um, a fabulous andrewraff.com prize pack. Earlier predictions (before Iowa, before NH) will be handicapped in order to compensate for the greater likelihood of precision from later picks.
