Predictions

I wanted to put these on the record with a time stamp:


Obama goes with Sebelius, fuck the Clintons! McCain goes with Lieberman.
McCain wins in November. Democrats form circular firing squads and drink kool aid.
Brett Favre has a better year than Aaron Rodgers.
Ted Thompson is eventually bought out of his contract. The better Favre does, the sooner.

UPDATE Aug 25th: OK, I'm 0 for 1 as Obama picks Biden. But I take some satisfaction that Dick Morris came out this morning and said how it was a big mistake that he didn't take Kathleen Sebelius because he really needs a woman on the ticket. And I also agree with his assessment that this now prersents an opportunity for John McCain to pick Kay Bailey Hutchinson. The opportunity would not have been there had he taken Sebelius. I now say it's even 50-50 on Lieberman vs. Hutchinson.

UPDATE Aug 29th: Well I might be 0 for two, but he did pick a woman, which is great. Furthermore, when they vote in November, both halves of the ticket will have sons serving in Iraq. But you should hear the nervous "laughter" over at the Huffington Post. She is being trashed and ridiculed as short on experience and being clearly seen as a cynical pick to get support from the disaffected Clinton supporters. They are putting out wild predictions of the pick being a disaster, but they are obviously whistling past the graveyard. Lots of bluster with a deep undercurrent of concern. This is a great pick. The Dems are predicting that Biden will "have her for lunch." I'd just love to see that. Really. Like Rick Lazio looked, he will come across as bullying a woman and that won't help.

UPDATE Oct. 3rd

My politcal predictions are not faring well, but Favre had six touchdowns and lead the Jets to victory, while Aaron Rodgers left the game with 3 interceptions and may not start this weekend.
