The Dale Primary

Westmonster is almost flush with regret over this post, in which we spoke out on behalf of the British blogosphere bloviating on the U.S. presidential election in the face of Guido's criticism. Case in point: Iain Dale has opened a comment thread asking readers to predict the outcome of tonight's New Hampshire primary.

Amongst the addled "Obama by 12! McCain by 5!" predictions, intrepid readers willing to wade through the muck can find gems like these:

"La Clinton thrashed: that's all I ask. Let her spend her future with Cattle Futures." — dearieme

"Just been watching Newsnight, has anyone else noticed that Frank Luntz looks quite a bit like Ed Vaizey? You have to love David Grossman!" — alice

"Who cares!" — dickwishart

Who cares, indeed.
