January 2006 following the first year of the Kerry administration:

• Gasoline average price including new federal taxes $3.50/ gallon
• GDP down 4% for the 2nd consecutive quarter
• Unemployment edging up from 6%
• Security: Three attacks by Arab terrorists on US soil have been narrowly averted including a hostage situation at an east coast grade school
• Iraq is in civil war following the pull out of US forces and the lack of commitment by the UN to stop the fighting
• Iran announced the testing of its first nuclear weapon

That's what I was looking for! Thank you, predictions.

But...you failed to tell us what Kerry will do about all of these predicted disasters. After all, he claims to have "secret" plans for most everything. Perhaps Chirac and the Germans will help him. One thing is certain, he and the RATs will blame Bush for anything that does go wrong.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

A lot of gloom and doom predicted, but some of it is wrongly predicated on the assumption that the House and Senate will go Democrat as well.

One of the things that saved Bill Clinton's posterior was the Republican revolution of 1994. It was that election that put the fear of God into Clinton and caused him to back off on the socialist policies with which he began his administration. The result was that the economy stayed good, and he rode that good economy to re-election in 1996. It helped keep his approval rating high, and saved him from the consequences of his Lewinsky folly.
