Taylor: McCain, Dole, Perdue


Andy Taylor thinks it will be the usual N.C. fare.

The N.C. State politics professor and ubiquitous academic commentator picks John McCain, Elizabeth Dole and Beverly Perdue to win in North Carolina.

"I have a feeling that it's going to be all 'incumbents' or all the fresh faces—no mixed result," he writes Dome. "Of the two I have a slight hunch that it will be the former—McCain, Dole and Perdue. All very, very close. Not for any particular reason other than a hunch."

Re: Taylor: McCain, Dole, Perdue

"Of the two I have a slight hunch that it will be the former—McCain, Dole and Perdue. All very, very close. Not for any particular reason other than a hunch."

And with one small quote, professor Taylor lays waste to the "science" in "political science." I've got a "hunch" that Taylor probably isn't that great of a professor.

Why not quote me? I read the news, and I've got "hunches" too!
