This is a stupid thread for reasons already explained many times, and I don't know why people are still seriously replying. Why the hell would Huckabee still be relevant 10 years from now?
Let's go back to 1997 again and ask people who would be the frontrunners in 2008. How many would say:
-The First Lady
-A just elected State Senator from Illinois
-A wealthy trial lawyer in North Carolina
-An uninteresting backbench Senator from Tennessee just elected to his first full term.
-The mayor of NYC
-A Mormon businessman who lost to Ted Kennedy
Or go back to 1992 right after Clinton was elected and ask people who would be the next two Presidents after him? How many would predict he'd be succeeded by the son of the guy who just lost and how many would predict he would be succeeded by either:
-Clinton's wife
-An attorney at a Chicago law firm
-An unknown North Carolina trial lawyer
-A DC lobbyist and actor
-A New York federal prosecutor
-A Mormon businessman preparing a run against Ted Kennedy
See how stupid this is?
I hereby predict that Colin Powell will defeat Dan Quayle for the 1996 Republican nomination. Powell will then be elected the first African-American president of the United States.
Powell will subsequently win in a landslide against former vice-president Al Gore in 2000 (
), before being succeded as president by Democrat Dick Gephardt in 2004.
