I think all predictions are nuts

until Super Tuesday.

After that, I won't complain about hearing them. But please be careful about believing every poll you see. Always check to see how the poll was conducted and what the margin of error is. In other words, don't just read the headline. Go a little deeper and see if the headline makes sense.

And even so, the only polls that REALLY matter will be at the ballot box.

And, unless you'll vote in the General for anyone with a D after their name, make sure you vote.

2. It's a shame we lost some really good candidates before a single ballot was cast.
