As promised yesterday, we have an update on Grandpa the Psychic Monkey’s predictions for the New Hampshire Republican primary. I don’t know what to think of them though.
As you can see in the NY Daily News clip below, Grandpa ignored conventional wisdom and chose Newt Gingrich as the frontrunner.
When offered an array of bananas all representing particular candidates, he went right to the Gingrich banana, snapped it up and ate it.
Though he grabbed the Huntsman banana at the same time he took the Gingrich one, he didn’t actually eat it until he’d finished off the two marked Santorum and Perry.
And he completely ignored both the Romney and Paul bananas, leaving them for another monkey.
Till now, Grandpa’s record has been good. At least in sports. He picked the winner for last year’s Super Bowl, and six out of nine winners in the US Open.
But maybe politics isn’t his strong point, or it’s possible he knows something we don’t.
He could also just be saying he thinks the whole lot of them are bananas.
