It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Fred, Nina, Bill, and Juan offered their predictions for 2008 on FNS this morning, and I thought they were worth noting.
On sports:
Fred Barnes: The Boston Red Sox will win the World Series – their third in five years.
Nina Easton: The 2008 Olympics will make China THE issue in the presidential campaign.
Bill Kristol: The Washington Nationals will open a new park, traffic will be a nightmare, and they will win the NL Championship Series.
Juan Williams: The New England Patriots will not win the Super Bowl. But the Seahawks could.
On the economy:
Fred: President Bush will take on earmarks.
Nina: Starbucks will be hurt by the economy for the first time, but there will be no recession – just a “sputter.”
Bill: China’s economic bubble will burst.
Juan: No recession, just a slow down.
On entertainment:
Fred: Cate Blanchett will win an Oscar for portraying Bob Dylan.
Nina: Oprah goes political, and goes campaigning with the Democrat nominee, fracturing her base.
Bill: Hollywood gets tired of making anti-war movies, and goes patriotic.
Juan: Fred Thompson goes back to acting.
On politics:
Fred: President Barack Obama. The Dems just have more enthusiasm and more money.
Nina: Mike Bloomberg will run as an Independent.
Bill: In a deadlocked Republican Convention, the GOP turns to the most qualified person. Dick Cheney wins the nomination, then wins the 2008 election in a landslide. Or… it’s McCain/Romney. Or McCain/Huckabee. Either way, the Republicans win in ’08.
Juan: The Republicans don’t have a candidate after February 5, money becomes determinative; it’s a good year for the Democrats, and they pick up seats, beating a Huckabee/Romney ticket.
Clearly, Bill Kristol is somewhat less disappointed, depressed, and demoralized these days… but that’s because it’s rubbed off on Fred.
