I still say Romney wins the delegate count, but Hawaii won't be as lopsided as I thought. Oops, I thought Hawaii had more districts than it does.

I'll make an easy prediction: Romney wins tonight's delegate count, with Hawaii's system looking close as makes no never-mind to being winner-take-all. Nor am I.

Heh. It's always amusing when Obama goes on vacation there, because on the TV news reporting you see, they barely conceal the fact that they're between MaiTais at the beachfront bar while they're doing their "reporting." -CW dsws -

But, I understand he doesn't see things that way and feels that he is the only one who can save America. He practically gave a nomination acceptance speech not too long ago after losing a primary, if I recall. I hope you're right, though - I think a Santorum/Obama race would be quite a lot of fun!

Just a guess, though, at this point. Here's a more solid prediction: Newt drops out by Friday. His money man calls him up and tells him to hang up his spurs. I could be wrong about that one, but I bet not. -CW LizM -

I predict Romney will lose the islands - all of them - because the voter turn out is so low (there are better things to do in the islands than to vote for one of these lame excuses for candidates) that one of the more extreme candidates wins!
