Okay...tada....before it even gets posted on my Blog....presenting....

Pat Fish's political predictions fro 2007:
-Mitt Romney will be nominated as the GOP contender-2008-wait, does the actual nomination take place in 2007? I still say, whenever, that Mitt will get the nod.

-Mitt's VP cohort will be -RUDY! New York and all that.

-Hillary will step down and not accept the nomination for Prez-2008. Will save her face, look like she's doing it "for the chirrun". I predict that some Demo moderate will get the nod...Maybe that New Mexico guy, someone from the heartland. Won't be Obama Yo Mama as I predict it.

-There WILL be a terrorist attack in 2007 and the nation will finally coalesce and demand that Muslims cut it the hell out.

-There will be an assassination attempt on President Bush's life as the Islamofacists get so frustrated they do the stupid.

-Bill Clinton will finally be exposed for the traitor he is. All of his connections to Joe Wilson, the Sauds, the Arabs, etc, will capture the public's attention BIG TIME. Which is why Hillary will step down.

-The senate will change hands to the Republicans either via a death of a senator of hey, Joe Lieberman.

Okay, any other predictions? I double-dare ya. And I'm going to save this thread, see who gets it right.

There will be an assassination attempt on President Bush's life as the Islamofacists Soros crowd and DBM get so frustrated they do the stupid.

Just one teeny change.

As an aside and other than the Kraut's cryptic take on Saddam's necktie party, the shows were pretty much, IMHO, the same bill of fare as usual today.

Here are a few predictions for 2007:

An aging, nearly 87, John Paul Stevens, a stain on Ford's brief presidency, will now retire since the Senate appears to be capable of blocking a "strict construcionist" etc. replacement without resorting to a filibuster and its attendant talk of a "nuclear" option- Senator Johnson's condition notwithstanding.

The fight for the Hispanic vote will bring the Pubs' internal schism over immigration to a fever pitch; possibly reshaping the American Right.

The situation in Iraq will recede as the most critical factor in foreign affairs as the inevitable conflict, and I mean war, between Israel and Iran/Syria draws closer and closer.

Hillary Clinton will be out of the running for her party's nomination for the presidency by late 2007.

Joe Wilson will face charges for lying to federal investigators. (OK, this is plainly wishful thinking.)

Disclaimer: the half life of political predictions is often the time it takes to speak (or to type) a few words.

Happy New Year, everyone!

I think you are right about your Romney pick, but I think Rudy will be his pick for Attorney General, not VP. I wish it could be Condi Rice for VP, but I do not think it will be. It may be the Young, Handsome Conservative Governor of Utah, who strangely enough is a Mormon also like Romney. It is a possibility that they may choose Michael Steele for VP, he certainly will be in the Cabinet. There also may be a Darkhorse for VP in the Governor of SC, Marshall clement Sanford Jr who also was a two term Congressman term limiting himself, and is well liked with a warm Southern Personality, and fiscally very conservative. He brought a Pig into the House to point out Pork Spending. I do not believe Gov Rutabaga Richardson will go anywhere even VP, he has a lot of Clinton Baggage and he is really unattractive (and no Abe Lincoln), plus he is known for crooked behind the scenes dealing, and making jobs for his friends at taxpayers expense, and turning the Governor's office into his own Pork-barrel project. He will not get the Spanish vote unless he uses his Spanish Maiden name (LOL) like the Sanchez Sisters from California. He is that devious, but the voters are not that stupid. enough for now...

I'm not sure that all of your predictions will come true, but I surely do like them!
