My 2008 predictions

*I posted this as a comment on someone else's blog, but I wanted to save them and see how good a prognosticator I am (or not) ;)

Iowa goes comfortably to Huckabee, Romney makes a big speech and goes negative in panic mode against McCain, who trounces him in New Hampshire (see ya, Mitt - I surely hope so on this one!!)

Romney endorses Rudy and leaves some parting shots at McCain.

South Carolina tips the thing upside down by electing not Huckabee, but Thompson as their pick. Rudy is gleefully beaming at his chances

Rudy pulls out all the stops for February 5th. But outside a narrow victory in Florida, it's McCain who wins the bulk of the states as he rides the favorable coverage from MSM, who insist on covering this "comeback story" feverishly.

Back-tracking a bit, the big sports story is that the mighty Patriots go down in Foxborough in the AFC title game by a 31 - 28 score to their hated rivals, the Indianapolis Colts.

Colts win the SB against Dallas. The rest of the country shrugs knowing there is an onslaught of Peyton Manning commercials coming.

Czar Hillary cruises to the nomination on the Dem side and has it wrapped up by Feb 5th. The establishment pleads for her to pick Obama as her running mate, but fearing a complete slaughter in the south, she goes with Jim Webb of Virginia.

McCain wins the squeaker and takes Mike Huckabee as his Veep pick.

McCain beats Hillary for the White House as all of those "democratic leaning" independents line up behind the Arizona senator, as well as several thousand democrats who just can't stand Hillary. Hillary claims voter fraud because her pollsters insist the country is trending blue.......

Congress goes even further to the Dems on both sides.

Detroit absolutely demolishes the American League en route to a World Series victory - over the Chicago Cubs, who are "celebrating" the 100th anniversary of winning their last series......wait til next year.....

Absolutely nothing is done on the immigration front, but lots of pandering to the electorate takes place.

The dems put another NONBINDING resolution together demanding a withdrawal time......and this time they mean it!

I STILL won't get what I want for Christmas ;)

Anybody but Romney - Go GOP!!

Huh .... by Oz

Well, "Romney endorses Guiliani" seems like the first stretch in this piece (aside from disagreeing with your initial "Huck wins Iowa" part).

I would think Romney would endorse McCain, anti-immigration ads not withstanding.

Giants won't either. by NightTwister

You think they were bad WITH Bonds? Cubs and Indians are the only thing keeping my Giants from taking over the Futility title. I regurlarly celebrate their continued failure.

On the bright side, I can continue to root for the "hometown" Rockies. They should excite again this year.

Thompson / Romney
