Bold Predictions
This thread is about, you guessed it, bold predictions. Some of them will be very far into the future, while others will be a year or less. I am not sure if this is going to be a series or not.
Prediction 1: Within 5 years there will be a major effort to put into the record of history that the sweeping democratization we are seeing now was caused in spite of the Bush administration and the Bush Doctrine, not because of it.
Prediction 2: Within 10 years we will start to see an effort by some on the political Left, namely the far-left, to re-legitimize Hitler and the German National Socialist Worker's Party.
Prediction 3: Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States in 2008.
Prediction 4: In the event of a Democratic loss in 2008 for Presidency we will start to see serious cracks form in the coalition that makes up the Democrats. The abandonment of the party by some elements would be an extreme of this.
Prediction 5: Blogging will become a huge factor in the 2008 election, with both major parties running official campaign blogs, and a strong possibility that the candidates themselves will use those blogs. Bloggers will sometimes scoop the major media, and citizen journalism will become quite common.
Prediction 6: The decade from 2001 to 2010 will become known as the "blogging decade."
Prediction 7: The GOP ticket in 2008 for President will have either a women or a member of a minority in it, possibly both.
Prediction 8: The US and India will form a major strategic partnership before the end of 2010.
Agree? Disagree? Speak your mind in the comments.
