For the first time I think the House will fold and we will not have a bill until after the Nov
elections and before the new Congress takes office in Jan 2011. Which we will only have a 3 vote hold in the next House and a 4 vote lead in the Senate.

2. Why is it that every one ... every. single. one. ..... of your predictive threads turns out wrong?

I've been here long enough to read several dozen of your threads that contain wacky predictions....

.... and I've yet to see one that actually came true.


Not. One.


Can you name one? I'm sure you can't.

20. when someone has a track record of posting poorly though out predictions
The way you do it is tough not to notice.

You arent just wrong over and over you are colosaly wrong over and over.


Heres one where you were predicting Palin in 2012.

That's coming from someone who was getting annoyed with Kucinich until he proved me wrong.

Wednesday begins the long march, Hillary to the WH, Obama back to the Senate. n/t



CK_John (1000+ posts) Wed Apr-23-08 08:50 AM
Original message
If Obama is as good of a politician as I think, he will soon exit after extracting his next career
position from Hillary.

He knows the math and since I believe he is a control freak and decision challenged he will never be willing to place his future in the hands of another(his VP pick).

He will never be able to select a VP that will be perfect enough for him and may have already may a deal with the Mayor of NYC to do the selection process for him. A deal that may have avoided a 3rd party challenge but something that now would lead to a total rejection in the GE.

He knows he is not ready for the next stage and if he is honest with himself will step aside and get ready for 2012.

Obama has to win in PA to get the nomination. He has to show he is a winner and not a whiner.
A close loss is not going to be enough. At this point it's not about Hillary but about him. He has to show he can get votes and not just crowds.

IMO, Condi is being test marketed to sub for McCain at their convention or shortly after. It's looks
to me like the old bait and switch if Obama gets the nomination. John Roberts is being held in reserve if Hillary gets the nod. I don't believe Cheney will ever take a chance on McCain.

48. It is foolish to think Cheney will leave McCain on the ticket, and Obama will not carry NY or CA. nt

Obama will probably face Gov Palin or Jindal. McCain's health problems are
becoming more obvious. Is he ready?

My last word on Obama's VP pick, it will be Melinda Gates or Caroline Kennedy.
The past is prologue.

:rofl:



CK_John (1000+ posts) Mon Jul-21-08 07:37 PM
Original message
IMO, Jindal was not lying about being VP, McCain will dropout and endorse him for the nomination.
I think Cheney is pulling the plug on the McCain dog and pony show.

The only question I have is, has Cheney found out who Obama will pick for VP because he will bring in a matched pair. If it is Obama/Clinton then Cheney will bring in Jindal/Palin.

We'll know more Thur with the big LA announcement.

Why does anyone think Obama will win? Almost every DU'er seems to be the only vote within their
immediate family, their extended family, their job, and their casual friends according to the many posts fighting the brave and lonely fight for Obama. Even here I doubt Obama gets 51% due to being non citizens, not registered, incapable of making any decisions, underage, etc.

In my area of upstate NY there is 0 support, no signs, no car stickers, 20% outright racism, 30% covert racism, 25% won't vote for varies reasons, and rest will vote for Obama but will not say so publicly.

I think the reality is Obama is down about 15% and anyone who thinks this is a cakewalk is a fool.

congress, but nothing more than that.

It may not be now or never, but it's certainly now or 2013 (if we have a different Democratic president ) or 2017 if we get a Democratic president then with a renewed Congressional majority.

You are the only one who ever mentioned SCJ Roberts and Lynne Cheney as possible Republican Presidential nominees in 2008.

If they cave and your numbers are accurate, there is NO way they pass comprehensive health care in 2011 or 2012.
