With less than 24 hours until the Iowa Caucus kicks off the mad dash to White House, which candidates will take the early states and the party nominations is anyone’s guess… even yours.
Whether your personal prediction comes from scrupulously dissecting the most recent polls from Rasmussen or taking a looksie into that crystal ball you got for Christmas, a good guess can skyrocket you straight to professional political pundit status this primary season. The policy-minded team behind Fantasy Congress has teamed up with Politico to launch Kingmaker, a virtual competition where betting correctly on contest outcomes can earn you bragging rights and big prizes.
