Sally's 2010 Predictions
-Marco Rubio will defeat Charlie Crist in the FL GOP Senate Primary. Conservatives will cheer, and gallons of ink will spill to again ask the question ‘is there room in the Republican Party for moderates?’
-Brett Favre, in a departure from his previous five off-seasons, will NOT hold forty-nine press conferences to announce he hasn’t made a decision about retirement yet. He will return to the Vikings. But in keeping with his previous five off-seasons, the diva will find a way out of training camp.
-Michael Steele will finally do or say something so outrageous that he must step down.
-Ben Bradlee will pass away. Media figures nationwide will gather to effusively praise him and by extension themselves for their belief in their own greatness. Sally Quinn will be feted like Mother Teresa.
-Philip Rivers will edge out Drew Brees as NFL MVP.
-Robert Gibbs will step down as White House Press Secretary. Chuck Todd of NBC will replace him.
-Ann Coulter will not become the fifth co-host of The View. (I needed to guarantee I got at least one right).
-Mitch Daniels and John Thune will replace Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty as the most discussed GOP prospects for 2012.
-Harry Reid will be defeated in a squeaker…and Chuck ‘I don’t need to turn my phone off, bitch’ Schumer will become the new Senate Majority Leader. God help us.

Goldwater's Ghost: 2010 Predictions
- Republicans will capture at least eight of the 15 or so incumbent Democrat Senate seats up for re-election in 2010; they will lose only one - Arizona
- Of the 40 or so Democrat seats up in the House, Republicans will win 18; they will lose only three of their incumbent seats
- Sensing a moment of confusion within the current Iranian regime, Israel will attack nuclear facilities within that country sometime in the first half of 2010. The price of oil and gold will skyrocket from current levels as a result...
- ...only to have gold crash in the 3rd quarter of the year
- One prominent member of the Obama Cabinet will resign under a cloud of suspicion
- Ben Bernanke will face a contentious Senate re-confirmation process. News will leak that Bernanke will withdraw his nomination, touching off a minor market panic. The Senate re-considers, votes to confirm overwhelmingly and Bernanke accepts
- Sarah Palin, perhaps in a deal brokered through Rush Limbaugh, will announce plans for a syndicated radio talk show
- There will be at least three more major snowstorms (12 inches or more) that will pound the mid-Atlantic states between January and March
- A major media fixture/celebrity will come out of the closet
- Economic growth will be sluggish, hampered in part by rising oil prices and other commodities; the unemployment rate will continue to rise to over 11% before falling back down to 10.5% by the end of the year.
