An awful lot of journalists have a large amount of egg on their faces this morning after their predictions of a Barack Obama win at the New Hampshire US presidential primary.
Even the respected pollster Frank Luntz was calling it for Sen Obama with up to a double digit winning margin on last night's Newsnight.
American politics is fascinating at the moment. The Democrats have the upper hand and President Bush is the most unpopular chief executive for many a long year so theoretically the blues should walk it in November. However, for the first time the leading contenders are a black man and a woman - two groups who have never got close to the White House.
Also, is it just me but does the chant by Sen Obama's supporters "Yes we can" remind you of Bob the Builder?
I'm going to continue sticking my neck out and say that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nomination come November.
