GOP: Rudy Guiliani wins it with Fred Thompson as his VP running mate. Guiliani/Thompson win in a squeaker. How's that for way out on a limb? LOL

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I predict that George Bush will use the military to seize control of the U.S. Government and to disband Congress. Bush will announce that he has appointed himself Supreme Commander of the United States, and that like Supreme Court Justices; he will hold the job for life. Hillary will leave Bill and spend the first 6 months of the Bush Supremacy getting drunk with John McCain. Obama will post videos on You Tube blaming Hillary for making the Bush Supremacy possible. Rudy Giulaini will work with General Colin Powell to mutiny the U.S. forces against Bush. Rudy and Colin will drive a tank down Pennsylvania Avenue backed by thousands of forces following their lead. Bush will finish reading his granddaughter "My Pet Goat" and then go out to the White House lawn and surrender to General Powell. Peace and freedom will once again be restored to the land.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 I'll make a much less bold prediction: Bill Richardson for Dem. VP, no matter who the Pres. nominee is.

He probably doesn't have the charisma to get the Presidential nod, but he might be the perfect VP nom.

Originally Posted By onlyme I predict, that having ANOTHER four years to prepare, the two Democratic front-runners will engage in such dirty politics and constant negativity, that, AGAIN, due to their complete incompetence, Americans, by a slim margin will run from these clowns, thereby causing the Democratic party to lose AGAIN to the Republican nominee....and, of course, cry for the next 4-8 years. And I really don't feel that I'm climbing very far out on that limb.
Originally Posted By jonvn Really. No way would hillary have obama as her running mate. They usually pick people who are going to make people want to vote for them. By having Obama, that is not going to add any more votes to the demo ticket. Edwards or Gore.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think a McCain/Pawlenty Republican ticket could win. Whether that would ever happen, who knows?

Originally Posted By Mr X No, Dagobah is kinda like Canada (well except for the weather...and the swamp creatures I guess). Bush won't think to look there. Ed will be safe.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I predict, that having ANOTHER four years to prepare, the two Democratic front-runners will engage in such dirty politics and constant negativity...> Assuming Obama is still one of the two front-runners a year from now, I don't really see him engaging in a lot of "negative and dirty." Even if only for tactical reasons. Hillary, sure, I can see it. But "negative and dirty" is counter to the whole Obama persona that makes him popular to begin with, so I don't see him doing that, even if that itself is a political calculation.
