Turn on CNN...NOW!

[in_cog_ni_to]

Some guy who has predicted the outcome of the last 6 elections and was RIGHT, will be on NEXT to give his prediction for this one! :hi:

[Clark4Prez]

[fertilizeonarbusto]

[Ms.Victory]

5. I heard it too! I,m watching!

[oxymoron]

8. If this is the same hack they had on last night...

he gives it to *

[pmbryant]

9. So who did this mystery guy predict in 2000?

Either way he could claim he was "right". And 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, and even 1980 (albeit to a lesser extent) were not exactly hard to predict.

10. if daren Kagen is reporting this

you must believe they will twist it

[JHB]

11. "Some guy" who predicts elections?

No offense, but I won't be dropping everything to see him. It's just not one of those "turn it on NOW" items.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Alan Lichman...Presidential Historian.

Says......BUSH?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! BULLSHIT!!!!!!

[still_one]

14. no way will CNN put someone on for Kerry

after what Zogby said on the Daily show

They will lie for bush

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Yup...he just did. I should have known.

:grr:

[shoelace414]

15. Back in 1984

Not Necessarily the news correctly predicted Regan the winner in July

[Nikepallas]

17. It figures

I didn't expect CNN to have this guy on unless he said Bush

[BeyondGeography]

18. Just another soon-to-be discredited "expert"

[Malva Zebrina]

19. I just tuned on CNN to see John Kerry hip hopping down the steps

from his plane, fast, like a guy with wings. Take that Mr. weak knees.

Off topic I know but I don't hear anyone making any prediction.

[Ms.Victory]

20. I,m done!

That was a bunch of BS!

[fertilizeonarbusto]

21. figures

thanks anyway. BTW, he wasn't right in 2000 either ;-)

[UL_Approved]

23. You can't win em' all

I think that this election season will be an upset like the days of Truman. Kerry has turned into the presidential character people want to see, and Bush is coming apart faster than a newspaper in the shower. Even if the guy gives it to Bush, so what? The GOP is falling apart, not just at the national level. And besides, what about Richard Nixon and Watergate? As far as I know, we can still have and impeachment and a formal removal.

[Cerridwen]

24. Turned it off - now......he says * based on "the big picture?!"

Well my gut which has been my predictor says it's Kerry in an overwhelming landslide which will also bring along more Democrats into the house and senate based on the upsurge of Democratic voting in spite of the repubs best (worst) efforts of surpressing votes.

The country is too angry; too many people demand a change.

25. My coffee grounds told me this morning

That some jackass on CNN was trying to jack up the price of his boeing shares before he BAILED OUT!

26. But what does Ma Stallone's Chihuahua say?

Jackie's dog is the true Oracle, I tell you!

27. The Last 6 Elections?

How hard was that? Reagan was a slam dunk in 1984, 41 in 1988, Clinton in '92 was easy to call, '96 was a no-contest, and in 2000, no matter which one you picked, you could claim to be right. The only one that anybody should have gotten wrong was 1980, and even that one should have been >50% to pick Ronnie.

That means that if he DIDN'T get 5 out of 6, he's an idiot. With a 50% chance (at least) of picking Reagan right in 1980, it means there's a 91.66% chance of picking the last 6 correct.

Big deal.

[pmbryant]

28. Yep. Calling last 6 elections wasn't exactly hard.

Exactly my point too.

CNN is a joke.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. Yeah, Sorry Peter

Read your post after i wrote mine. Otherwise i would have just agreed with yours.
The Professor

[pmbryant]

32. No need to apologize.

Your post was far more emphatic than mine. I prefer it. :-)

30. I don't like people that make predictions.

We will have to wait and see like everyone else. Although we all know it will be Kerry/Edwards!

[Javaman]

31. So I'm supposed to believe some boob that makes a correct guess...

on a 50/50 out come 6 times in a row? Big deal, I could do the same thing.
