My Favorite Prediction - Patriots choking. They'll choke to the Colts who will then go on to win the super bowl. I eliminated my music specifically so you could see the updates on my blog. However you never stopped by, thus, the music will shortly return.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know!
Also, I lost the link to your blog.
But now I have it again, via your husband.
.
ReplyDeleteOh, also, um, I'm not invited to your blog. I had forgotten that happened to me....
you are now officially invited... If you scroll down the postings you can see a full bearded Josh...
ReplyDeleteHooray for me!
ReplyDeleteHow will avocado fare in the election?
Another prediction:
ReplyDeleteBlogger will add a feature allowing me to set a preference having all comment threads I've commented on emailed to me without having to remember to check the box.
Sounds like I have a lot to look forward to this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm all good with the tall dark stranger--just not the blackjack.
Does the TV prediction really count as a prediction? It seems more like a given to me.
ReplyDeleteI like the Obama prediction, though. That could be 'cause I don't like Hillary, but then again, it could be 'cause I'd love to see Obama elected.
So many could bes . . .
Sounds like you should make a fortune on InTrade.
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteYes, but it wouldn't be fair for me to play.
You're good. You're very good.

ReplyDeleteI'm off to a good start.

ReplyDeleteHey! I'm off to a good start here too!
I can see (and would like to see) Obama, but Romney? Do you really think he has a chance of being the Republican nominee?
ReplyDelete.
ReplyDeleteI think if all the primaries were held today, he would win. But I also think both parties are so volatile and confused right now, anything's possible. McCain's back in the race, for instance.
.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about this since my quick-offed reply, and I have to say, although Huckabee hasn't a prayer in New Hampshire, winning Iowa makes him the new posterchild of the Far Right. Their perceived power has taken a hit, but they still are a force to be reckoned with. If he can maintain that Iowa-bestowed sense of destiny, he has a serious shot.
But if he takes the nomination, then Obama would win handily. Someone perceived as further left, Clinton or, especially, Edward, would reempower centrist movements like Unity08 and they could make a much stronger showing, throwing the final election to the dice.
Or so it seems to me.
Have you seen this one?
