Prediction: Hillary will not be nominated. Too many democrats cry at watching their money go up it smoke.
Prediction: A Democrat will win the White House ... Evan Bayh of Indiana.
Prediction: Bill will support Hillary, but Bill's ills she will never shake.
Prediction: The Republican nominee will be defeated b/c A) most likely, a weak defeatable candidate - who is torpedoed during the campaign b/c of scandle of some kind, or B) less likely, a Third Party Candidate ala Perot.
Prediction: All the ground work for this will be laid in a major recession that will begin during 2006 and intensify during 2007/2008.
Evidence? The history of previous elections, and the current economic climate. And none of this presumes a major attack against the USA. Should THAT occur, which I don't believe for a second it will for a long time, then the Republican just might win. But I still doubt it, though of course I prefer that result.
The key point is the recession, how strong it ends up being. I'm pretty sure it will not be a fun ride....; Greenspans recent comments on interest only mortages are a harbinger of the underlying fundamentals that will drive it...
Prediction: A Democrat will win the White House ... Evan Bayh of Indiana.

He worries me too. If he gets a backbone and acts like a leader instead of a legislator, he'd be favored over the Republican in the Midwest states. Richardson as VP would help them too stealing away Hispanics.
A candidate like Bayh will be able to beat the republicans like a drum over the border issue.
