I had started writing some New Year's predictions when I saw the latest Des Moines Register poll, putting Barack Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton by 7 percentage points, 32 to 25. John Edwards has caught up to the New York senator too.
So I had to throw out my prediction that Clinton wins the nomination and chooses Bill Richardson as running mate. Now it's all up in the air.
If Obama wins it, he will have pulled off something akin to the Red Sox come from behind victory over the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS.
The Sox went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series that year.
Watch, if Obama starts winning in Iowa and New Hampshire, he will build up a lot of momentum.
The poll also showed Mike Huckabee in the lead with 32 percent of the vote. Huckabee will probably win the Iowa caucuses, but who knows what might happen in New Hampshire, where John McCain and Mitt Romney are more viable candidates.
