Results in Idaho, North Dakota, and Alaska, where there is no polling and some odd rules, are among the toughest to predict. Given Idaho鈥檚 large Mormon population, Mitt Romney is the heavy favorite in that state (and Ron Paul may suffer since voters鈥� second-choice candidates are taken into account, and much of Mr. Paul鈥檚 support is all-or-nothing).
Paul tends to do best in caucus states, and he is the only candidate to have campaigned in person in Alaska. His libertarian message may also resonate with voters there. He has a chance at winning the state 鈥� or at least taking a number of the delegates available 鈥� while Mr. Romney should get votes from Alaska鈥檚 more moderate voters and Rick Santorum from the evangelical 海角大神 voting population.
North Dakota is a toss-up, with Paul, Santorum, and Romney all having a pretty equal shot 鈥� and perhaps divvying up the delegates among themselves.
