The Democratic Party nominee for the White House will win the presidential election this year.

I'm more confident of that outcome than I am of whose going to win the Democratic nomination in the first place (probably Hillary, but she could screw it up at any point). The war is doing well, and the economy looks sketchy. This year reminds me so much of 1992--a year with a mild recession which was already over by the time Bubba actually took office--that I'm contemplating buying tickets to Lollapalooza.

My prediction could come unmade if the security situation in Iraq severely worsens or if there's another major terrorist attack on American soil. Otherwise, say hello to Americas next major military embarrassment as we cut and run in Iraq, giving a much needed propaganda victory to our enemies.

Or maybe I'm just feeling pessimistic because Fred Thompson just dropped out of the race.
