GOP contest nowhere near decided
CNN Politics ^ | January 29, 2016 | Hugh Hewitt

(CNN)--I think I may be suffering from dangerously high levels of candidate exposure. Since the first Republican presidential candidate debate in August, I've interviewed the potential nominees almost 150 times in total, and I probably spoke with them about 100 times before that debate took place. I've also been a panelist on two CNN-Salem Media Group hosted debates.

By the end of Friday, after the Trump-less debate on Fox News, I'll have added a couple more interviews. Next week a few more. And I'll be back on the stage with whomever is still standing on February 25 and March 10 for the remaining candidate debates. My radio show has become a kind of Switzerland for people from all the camps -- neutral ground.

So who is ultimately going to come out on top? I have no idea yet. Nothing is close to being decided yet. Nothing.

Of course, that doesn't mean that each debate doesn't have its individual winners and losers. It does, and I call every event along the way like I see it, in the great tradition of sports journalist Howard Cosell....

Trump still owes Hewitt an answer about the new foreign minister of Dirkastan.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean that each debate doesn’t have its individual winners and losers.”

Hugh, HELLO! Donald Trump has won all the online debate polls, even when he doesn’t show up! Yes I know there was one where they didn’t include him in the options, but he has won all the polls in which he was listed. :-)

Monday, Monday, so good to me!

If you don't know anything you don't need to write anything.

I was just watching a FauxNews segment of Jesse Watters (Sp?) show where he was interviewing people and showing them photos of candidates. No surprise that a Hispanic looking guy, a Black guy, and a woman all aid they are FOR Donald J. Trump!

The only way he doesn't win is if the Dims can get enough fraud and dirty tricks! Zero is doing everything to allow the invaders to vote!

It hasn’t been decided, because not a single vote has been cast yet.

We should get a clearer picture by the middle of March.

Hewitt is deranged almost as much as Medved.

Hugh has to be the worst political prognosticator ever.
