My Prediction

A Republican will be elected President in '08.

Good Prediction. George Allen, John McCain, or Condi could beat anyone from the Democrat side. Who stands a chance? Hillary? Windbag Biden? Forget it.

My rational is that, if Bush whose a far right republican, can win by 3 million votes, then another republican whose a moderate can do a lot better. Theoricaly speaking.

But of course Kerry would be president now if not for the rigged elections in key swing state areas.

McCain slips into poll position over Clinton

January 23, 2006 WASHINGTON: Republicans are warming to John McCain as the politician most likely to beat Hillary Clinton to the White House in 2008 and to clear the party of the taint of sleaze.

A poll last week showed Senator McCain could trounce Senator Clinton, the Democrat favourite, by 52 to 36. The 16-point lead revealed that he has a decisive advantage among independents and swing voters. "The more scandal and corruption in Washington, the better it is for McCain. He is at a high point right now," said Chuck Todd, editor-in-chief of National Journal's Hotline news service, which commissioned the poll.

The Arizona senator's standing among Republican activists nose-dived after he was beaten by George W.Bush to the presidential nomination in a bitter race in 2000.

How does scandal help McCain, again? That doesn't seem to add up...
