Confession:
I love to predict political outcomes but so far have lacked the courage to post them on E!! Today, I shed the shackles of fear and take a stand with some predictions…
Obama’s VP pick will be Evan Bayh.
McCain’s VP pick will be Romney (who will run in 2012 when McCain decides one term was enough).
McCain-Romney will win easily in November.
Hillary will win her party’s nominiation in 2012 after saying something like this to the Dems, “Hey Dummies! Your arugula-eating, Maxim reading, Harvard grad Golden Boy got stomped in ’08, so stop messing around and nominate me.”

The Corner is speculating that Chet Edwards (not John) might be the pick. Not a good idea due to the possible name confusion; don’t think it’s gonna happen.
I think Obama should pick Hillary if he wants to have any chance of winning, but I’m not sure she would agree to take it or that he would be willing to tolerate her on the ticket – or in the White House on a daily basis.
Geraldine Ferraro was on Hannity last night and said there is “no way” Hillary will accept the VP spot under Obama. Others have said they think she would, if it were properly offered.
If I were a Hillary staffer, I would advise her to Just Say No to Obama and stick with the roll call vote at the convention, which even if she loses will remind people that she still has strong support in the Demcoratic base, and then in 2012 she can come back and say (to the Dems), “OK Dummies, your Golden Boy got stomped in ’08, so stop messing around and nominate me.”
