An obvious prediction This may be obvious, but I'll say it anyway: I predict that war with Iraq will begin a week or two before midterm elections. Sure, it's politically motivated, but that doesn't mean the results won't be to my liking. (Results meaning: oust Saddam, not secure a Republican majority. I can't get very excited about midterm elections, and I would have to choose between Dem/Rep on a case by case basis, so I'm not in favor of a landslide either way during midterms...)
