You did it, Bob Shrum! Your perfect track record now extends to 0 for 9 in presidential candidate victories due to your powerful "Shrum Curse." 

Your humble correspondent was the first to note how the Shrum Curse doomed Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign the moment he declared certain victory for her on September 2. Here is a gloating Shrum spiking the football and declaring the election basically over that day on With All Due Respect in a video posted by Bloomberg Politics titled "Bob Shrum Says Labor Day Is the End of the Election":

If the Democrats want to have a chance the next election cycle, they need to exile Bob Shrum from the country and place him under house arrest with no access to the internet. His curse is that deadly.

Uh, no PJ. He did a wonderful job. He is brilliant. A visionary. Democrats would be wise to continue to hire him.

“Let me to be the first to call you Madam President”

[Interesting Times]

Not at all. It’s like flipping a coin and getting heads 9 times in a row; it has no effect on the next toss. Mr. Shrum is welcome to continue his participation and need not fear that he will harm yet another Democratic candidate.

I have something to call her, but I won’t be the first.

And in 2004:

Bob Shrum, Kerry's friend and close adviser, couldn't resist the moment. "May I be the first to say 'Mr. President'?" said Shrum.

This guy is so money.

[MUDDOG]

Awesome! Brrrrr.

[ConservativeDude]

lol....I love how Bob Shrum said that Trump’s Mexico trip was ridiculous!

[Dr. Sivana]

Uh, no PJ. He did a wonderful job. He is brilliant. A visionary. Democrats would be wise to continue to hire him.

And if he made NFL picks against the spread, we could all be rich (bet against whatever he says).
