"I predict that prediction markets like Intrade & IEM will have a better track record than polls in 2008."

Nice quatrain MN, BTW.

Thanks SunkenCiv!

Would you care to try your hand at a quatrain for 2008?

“...In 1972 the price of crude oil was about $3.00 per barrel and by the end of 1974 the price of oil had quadrupled to over $12.00.”

hoo-boy...

Clowns to the left of me
jokers to the right
here I am
stuck in the, no, wait...

[clears throat]

In April clear will be who pretenders were
and volte face will the quislings turn
while yet the contest tarries and
bin Laden and his lackeys burn.

How’s that? ;’)

We will withdraw at least 100,000 troops from Iraq as the New Iraqi Army become more assertive.

We will redeploy some of those forces to Afghanistan since NATO flatly refuse to do any heavy lifting there.

I phone, you phone, we all phone for Iphone. The thing is just great and getting better.

I predict a new upgrade to the IPhone operating system next week.

John Edwards takes Iowa but the hope for a third place ending position for Shrillary misses by 2%. Poor “Empty Suit” Obama and his platitudes is the one left twisting.

Romney regains his footing and goes on to take down the Huckster in Iowa and then Shamnesty McPain in New Hampshire.

After Fred Thompson fails to take South Carolina, he withdraws and endorses Romeny (as McPain is already out).

Shrillary Clinton leads in the polls for President but a tape emerges with her screaming worse than a sailor at her staff. Huma is rumored to leak the all telling tape.

Mitt Romney beat Shrillary with the media crying that it shouldn’t have happened this way. They neglect to mention their embracing of the DUI charge against George Bush right before the election.

Israel and Hezzbollah come to blows in Lebanon. This time Israel takes out the secret infrastructure of tunnels unknown last time.

Russia continues to arm Iran even with the continued enrichment of atomic fuel the mullahs declare for a new type of swimming pool. The UN IAEA applauds this new technological development. Mohammed Baredi suggests that he looks forward to a vacation in Tehran and swimming in said pool.

Bill and Hillary Clinton divorce right before Christmas as her presidential ambitions are permanently toast.

Harold Ford takes over the DNC as the Democrats are weighed down by Shrillary and lose the Senate and most of their majority in the House.

Gen. Petraeus announces a new day in Iraq with an integrated armed force that takes over security in 90% of the country. Rebuilding continues apace and oil revenues distributed throughout the country take their effect.

Harry Reid’s head explodes as he is fired as Senate Majority Leader while in the hospital upon hearing the news.

Nancy Pelosi is reduced to a back row Democrat house member with her Sharia scarf and new friends at Code Pinko.

American soldiers continue to beat the odds in Iraq but Afghanistan turns to become the larger problem.

The UK announces a new immigration program directed to keep out Islamic fundamentalist along with new laws allowing for easier expulsion of radicals and anti-Western imams.

France announces a new military partnership with the US for defensive missile technology. Italy’s government falls on indecision whether to join this alliance.

Pakistan becomes Al Qaeda target no. 1 as Iraq produces nothing but their complete humiliation. Saudi Arabia becomes targeted with attacks by Al Qaeda.

US weather produces more snow in the winter, making snow a bigger concern than global warming and hurricanes.

That one in particular looks like a ringer. It's pretty certain that Israel has been watching and gathering info on the Hizzie activity, plus there are informants north of the border who want the Hizzies out (or buried, just not in tunnels). The next time it starts, it'll be Israel, it won't take a very long time, and it'll have Sarkozy's backing. Lebanon will also be purged of Syrian quislings, and that isn't going to be pretty, but it'll be the Lebanese who do it, so, cool. :') I hope you're correct about the White House and Congress, BTW. :'D

You must be a psychic.

Knock, Knock.

Who’s there?

A Psychic.

A Psychic who?

I knew you were going to say that.

Hmmmm, okay. Here goes...

Mike Huckabee will get trounced in the Hawkeye Cauci in a few days, leaving the door open for Fred Thompson. McCain will win NH because...well, I think the water in NH lacks fluoride or something.

New England/Dallas will be in Super Bowl XLII. My Oakland Raiders will finish 8-8 next year, just missing the playoffs.

North Carolina will win the NCAA Basketball championship.

Osama Bin Laden will still be dead.

The San Jose Sharks will win the Stanley Cup.

2008 will be remember in MLB as “the Year of the Pitcher” and the entire AL will bat somewhere around .230.

But most importantly.

The San Francisco Giants will finally win the World Series

Fred Dalton Thompson will be the next President of the United States. When in a debate during the campaign, Fred walks over to Hillary’s podium and an MSM reporter asks Fred “you know you don’t hit the girl, right?” Fred will say, “that was a girl? Hmmmm, guess you learn something new every day.”
