2008 Fearless Forecasts

Here are my fearless forecasts for 2008 to prove psychics have no more power than anyone else to predict the future:
  1. Ron Paul will shock mainstream media and alarm Republican party activists by a stronger-than-expected showing (around 10%) in many of the primaries.
  2. Mitt Romney wil be the Republican nominee for President.
  3. Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination and the Presidency.
  4. The outcome of the 2008 Presidential election will be strongly influenced by Third Party or independent candidates who will pull votes from both Republicans and Democrats. The winner will have less than 50% of the total vote.
  5. There will be a mild, not major, tsunami along the Pacific coast triggered by an Alaskan earthquake.
  6. The Atlantic hurricane season will continue to confound forecasters by being less active than predicted. However, Florida will have at least one category two or three hurricane. It will not affect Jacksonville, except for rain.
  7. There will be a terrible rafting accident either in Colorado or on the Colorado River.
  8. Housing prices will continue to fall, and the economy will be in full recession after the election and weak all year. The dollar will be weaker, too.
  9. The drought in the Southeast will be broken, and residents will be wishing for less rain due to flooding by year's end.
  10. The Florida4Marriage amendment will not pass because 60% of voters must approve it. It will get over 50% approval, however.
  11. At least one current or former member of Jacksonville's (FL) City Council will be indicted due to sunshine law violations.
  12. Something from or in space will cause a combination of alarm, fear, and wonder.

Now, feel free to join the fun by posting your own fearless forecasts for 2008.
