E.J. DIONNE JR.
Predicted winner: Rick Santorum
Momentum is important in Iowa, and Santorum seems to be consolidating the religious conservative vote. Rick Perry is also flat, which helps Santorum. My guess is that Mitt Romney runs second, though I think it will be a tight contest for the No. 2 spot between Romney and Ron Paul.
JAMES DOWNIE
Predicted winner: Rick Santorum
Santorum has the momentum in the polls, easily the best favorability in the field and the most committed supporters. In the Des Moines Register poll, 76 percent of his supporters said they will definitely caucus, compared with 58 percent for Mitt Romney and (despite the conventional wisdom that his supporters are the most enthusiastic) 56 percent for Ron Paul.
