Here, Jeff Greenfield elaborates that there are no rules in politics and everything isn't based on a scientific formula. The video showed the 2008 election in New Hampshire when Clinton won but still had lost the primary. Political scientists look like fools when they assume that "what's past is prologue," and just because something has not happened before doesn't mean it won't happen. One of the “rules” is that no president has won the White house and not won the New Hampshire primary. That rule no longer applies with the exception of the last 3 presidents, who of which are Obama, Clinton and George Bush.
I. The problem addressed here is how there's is accurate way to determine/predict politics.
II. N/A
III. Politics is unpredictable.
IV. The information doesn't affect me and can't be used by me.
V. N/A
VI. This info could positively affect candidates who didn't win the primary because voters won't let the past influence their decision when deciding which candidate to support.
