Today, we’ve rounded up six professors from the Columbia and Barnard political science departments to make their picks for who they think will win in the New Hampshire primary tomorrow. The Spectator staff will also present its “house pick.” You can state your own in the comments section at the end. We’ll be running this feature throughout the primary season, so you can keep track of just how good your profs are at gauging the electoral winds.
Robert Jervis: Mitt Romney
I think Romney is likely to win in NH partly because that state is more moderate on social issues and because he is well-known from being governor next door.
Robert Lieberman: Mitt Romney
Romney will almost certainly win New Hamphshire, mostly because of the familiarity that comes from exposure as governor of Massachusetts.
