Just in time for the Iowa caucuses, which will happen mere hours from now and may well decide the presidency, newyorker.com unveils another of their delightful “Naked Campaign” videos featuring Steve Brodner, this one on possibly our next president (I doubt it) Mitt Romney. You all remember how much I cottoned to Brodner and his whiteboard. In this one he sketches Romney’s stack of hair half a dozen times, and I find it a hoot every single time.

So: Iowa! For the political junkies out there, I present McLaughlin-esque questions and predictions:

Will Romney win the Iowa GOP caucus? No!
Will Huckabee win it? Yes!
Is Giuliani toast? Thankfully!
Is McCain alive? And how!
Will Clinton win the Democratic caucus? Negatory!
How about Edwards? Maybe!
So… Obama, then? I think so!
Will it be cold? Brrrr!
Will the media overreact? Heaven forfend!
