BusinessWeek writers and editors have come with ten predictions for 2008 - things they believe will likely happen.  The list is predictable (as in predictable predictions…) until we get to prediction # 3. 

So here’s prediction #3:

Prediction No. 3:

Bloomberg’s Historic Run
Michael Bloomberg will enter the Presidential race in February, after it becomes clear which nominees will get the nod from the major parties. His billions and organization will impress voters and stun rivals. But Bloomberg will come up short, as he comes in for withering attacks from both Democrats and Republicans. He and Clinton will split more than 50% of the votes, but John McCain will end up President.

What do you think?  A couple of interesting items there.  First is the assumption that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president.  Second is that John McCain will be the Republican nominee.  But those are in the realm of possibility.

If Hillary is brought to tears by a simple question about  how she’s making it through all the grueling campaigning, can you imagine what this development would do to her?

At the BusinessWeek website, there are lots of comments about the predictions.  Here is my favorite:
