ELECTION ORACLE

Spider Monkey to Predict NH Primary

Successfully predicted Super Bowl champions.

Will he join the ranks of Punxsutawney Phil and Paul the Octopus? Grandpa, a 39-year-old spider monkey at the Staten Island Zoo renowned for his psychic abilities, has been selected by the Daily News to predict the winner of the GOP New Hampshire primary. On Monday, the Daily News will test Grandpa’s abilities and give him a choice of bananas, each with a different presidential candidate’s name written on it. Grandpa’s powers earned praise in 2010, when he predicted the winners of six out of nine tennis matches during the U.S. Open. Last year, he garnered even more fame when he successfully predicted that the Green Bay Packers would win the Super Bowl.
