By the time we reach Florida on January 29th, we could have a real mess in the Republican nominating contest.

It is entirely plausible that the first 4 nominating states could produce 4 different winners. Now, I am not predicting this but it is not far-fetched.

A Huckabee victory in Iowa is looking more and more likely and a Romney win in New Hampshire appears to be an absolute lock. Beyond that, it gets much muddier.

South Carolina seems to be between Romney and Thompson and Michigan is very strong for Giuiliani.

Imagine going into Florida with Huckabee, Romney, Thompson and Giuliani as the winners. The winner in Florida establishes himself as the clear winner going into Super Tuesday- February 5th.

It is really hard for me to imagine that on the morning of February 6th, we won't have a very good idea who our nominee is.
