So which Gooper is going to win here? [View all]

I'm betting on Romney.

The national talking heads are discounting Romney's chances here, because of the Mormon thing.

But I say don't discount the business wing of the Goop.

The rubes are only pawns for the big-money guys.

Santorum and Newt will split the idiot vote, Romney will sew up the greed vote, and the guy in the magic undies will win.

But I could be wrong, and it'll probably be pretty close.

Any guesses?
