Like everyone else, I’m completely unqualified to write this, so I’m going to ramble on mindlessly about how I see the president race shaping up for 2008. Here’s my prediction:

1) Mitt Romney stepped out of the race because he made his own back-room deal with McCain. He’ll get the veep nod and the official GOP ticket will be McCain/Romney.

2) It should have been Paul/Huckabee

3) Obama will win the DNC nomination - just barely - and he’ll name Edwards as his running mate despite the fact that Edwards said he wouldn’t be a running mate a second time

4) Once the McCain/Romney machine has a comfortable lead in polls, or they’re losing - you know…whichever - Bush will Invade Iran

5) No American would dare elect a namby-pamby democrat as president while the nation was embroiled in two wars in the middle-east. McCain/Romney will win in November.

6) McCain will die 2 years into his first term - he’s old as hell after all - and Romney will be president anyway.

And, like always, Americans will do what we do best…piss and moan about the sorry state of our political system instead of going out and voting for someone who might actually shake things up in Washington.
