Meet the Press is five for five. Of the last five presidential candidates who have appeared on the program, all five have won their primary or caucus.
Dec. 30 — Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama (both win Iowa)
Jan. 6 — John McCain (wins New Hampshire)

Jan. 13 — Hillary Clinton (wins Nevada)
Jan. 27 — John McCain (wins Florida)
The Jan. 20 edition of Meet the Press included no candidate, but rather a political roundtable of journalists and historians. And we understand Doris Kearns Goodwin won the Pick 5 the following Tuesday. So…there’s that.
