Since the Iowa caucus is the (official) start of the election cycle, make your election predictions!

Who will win Iowa?

Who will win the GOP nomination?

Will there be a legitimate third party candidate from either side?

Who wins the presidential election? By how much?

Who wins control of the House?

Who wins control of the Senate?

After the economy and jobs, what's the number one issue for voters?

How big of an impact, positive or negative, does the Occupy movement have on the election?

How big of an impact, positive or negative, does Americans Elect have on the election?

8. Occupy will help get Elizabeth elected in Massachusetts
