Politico's fantasy primary game is wicked cool

A new game from Politico.com aggregates the wisdom of the crowds by letting us average folks play pundit and predict the winners of the presidential primaries.

The game is aptly titled, Kingmaker, and is from the makers of Fantasy Congress, which is also cool but not as easy to play. I've created a league that anyone is free to join if you'd like to compete against fellow journobloggers.

Oh, and what are the crowds saying? At the time of this post, Huckabee and Obama were predicted to win in Iowa (R|D); Romney and Clinton are ahead in New Hampshire (R|D). But just a fraction of a percent separate Clinton and Obama there.

None of you should bemoan the fact you didn't launch this great idea first. After all, the Readership Institute suggested a very similar thing long ago (2004), and Politico is the first to try it.
