Prediction turned out to be a bust
Anyone remember when some genius posted his prediction that Kerry would drop out by the end of September? Well, here it is Oct. 1, and Kerry is still in the race!

This really makes me disillusioned on predictions posted here!

1. I thought it was Lieberman
but he hasn't dropped out, either, so it was probably just a rumor.

2. you're kidding, right?

3. Well, that was a dumb prediction.
I doubt that any of them will drop out before Iowa/New Hampshire votes.

7. I predict both you and Cronus are right!

As a side prediction, I predict that Bev Harris's 'free' book hits the best seller list! :)

11. I predict I will have a Mike's Hard Cranberry in about an hour.
But it's a rigged prediction ;)

6. sort of like the predictions about Clark?
he'll announce sunday on such-and-such a show.
he'll announce by the end of august.
he'll announce no later than labor day.
he'll announce by the end of the week.
he'll have all his positions worked out in advance.
he'll get 30-40 congressional endorsements tomorrow.
he'll get 30-50 congressional endorsements next week.
