How I did with major presidential election prediction — I was probably too cynical


Not long ago, I predicted, cynically, that American voters would be so taken by “cutesy” Sarah Palin and war hero John McCain that McCain-Palin would win the election. Happily, I was wrong.

I say happily, because I voted for Obama-Biden and I think it was the best ticket for the future of America and the world. I thought that was a “no-brainer,” simply because I wanted someone at president who was smarter than I, and I think Obama adequately fills that bill.

Okay, so today I see there’s some talk about another of my “predictions” or recommendations — Hillary Clinton is being talked about for Obama’s secretary of state. You may have read it here first, folks: I suggested she would make a terrific sec. of state in my June 4, 2008, post.

I stand by that idea and I truly hope to see her in that role in the Obama Administration. We’ll see.
