I was catching up on some of the Bloggers I like to read. Many are making their 2004 predictions. Some have Howard Dean being nominated and others have him getting to the convention with insufficient votes and thus a fractured Democratic convention.
In all cases that have Bush winning in 2004 in a cakewalk. That sounds like a pretty safe prediction. I don’t think it’s a matter of IF but rather of by HOW MUCH.
Bush seems to be living charmed existence. It’s almost as if some all-powerful all-knowing supernatural being were intervening in human affairs.
For my part, I think I’m with Drucker when it comes to predicting the future – it is a fool’s profession. Rather than try to predict the future, better to prepare for many outcomes and thus have as flexible and adaptive response as possible.
Still, I also believe that, in many ways, we all make our futures. So I guess I would ask: What kind of future do you want and what are you doing to make it happen?

I've betting he won't carry the first ballot at the Democratic National Convention and that Hillary will throw her hat in the ring. I don't believe she will wait until 2008, if Dean continues his self destructive behavior.
