Predictions for '08

1) Obama will be elected president in '08.

2) Obama will swamp the primaries. By the time the primaries start, the contest will be amongst the also-rans for VP or just for influence.

3) Obama will garner significant support from traditionally Republican voters, winning the general election with at least 59 percent of the vote. Contingent prediction: the percentage will be in the mid to high 60s.

4) Obama will run in the general election on public financing alone and will win spending only 1/5 that of the Republican, setting a higher standard for all future presidential candidates. After President Obama finally leaves office in January of 2017, people will assume that a presidential candidate who needs obscene amounts of money to run won't deserve to win.

5) After serving two successful, transformative terms as POTUS, Obama will become Chief Justice of the SCOTUS and serve the remainder of his long life presiding over a court of his own making.

Modest enough predictions if you ask me.
