In February of last year, I suggested that 2008 would be “a good year for conservatives.”  I was right, but

What these scenarios do is expose the more liberal ideologues in the light of public discourse and governance. Illegal immigration and taxes will rise, Iraq will stalemate, social security will be no less solvent, health care won’t be solved and race relations will continue to be prickly. Beginning with John McCain’s nomination this year, Conservatives – with high wattage help – will regroup, rethink, reconfigure and react. A solid state of candidates will be developed and those with the credentials and strategy will emerge to reclaim.

2008 will be a good year for Conservatives because it’s the year they quit being stupid and start working on building a competitive team.

In June of that year, I wrote “Is Obama a Setup?” and predicted:

With an ambiguous chant/rant of “Change,” the party can likely dupe the American public that by voting for Barack Obama, things will be better because they will have changed.  What will really happen is the reconstitution of Kennedy Democrats that will threaten the Reagan Revolution and begin an ugly run-up to socialism.

So… how’s that “hope and change” working out?
