Presidential race predictions

1. I predict a bumper market in predictions.

2. Many of the predictions will be wrong.

3. When the eventual Democratic nominee becomes clear, some supporters of all of his opponents will come forth with plausible-sounding arguments that their guy was the only electable one, which then degenerate into depressive ranting.

4. The Democrat wins.

I'm pretty confident about all of these except for #4. Thought I'd stick my neck out on that one.

Meanwhile, on the other hemisphere, creatures from another planet make crop circles.
