It's time to see how well I did with my predictions for 2013 and to offer a set of 2014 forecasts.

I got 10 predictions for this year right. President Obama's job approval rating did drop

1) Amnesty will pass in a voice-vote on the day before Christmas Eve, 2014

2) In the face of a relentless liberal media onslaught, rentamob strikes, and local ballot initiatives that keep passing handily, House Republicans will cave and pass a minimum wage increase above $10 per hour.

3) At least two of the red state Dem Sens currently facing re-election (Landrieu, Pryor, Begich, etc.) will think better of facing the voters and retire in the face of horrific polling.

4) More leaping screaming Socialists like Bill DeBlasio will win local races in blue states.

5) By Halloween the conventional wisdom that 2016 is Hillary’s to lose will be in serious jeopardy.

6) Just as with the budget deal, the GOP, not wanting to get in the way of a collapsing Obamacare, will cave on the debt limit.

7) Harry Reid will kill the filibuster for legislation as well as confirmations.

8) Obama will bottom out at 30% in at least one major poll over the summer.

9) Terry McAuliffe will complete his first year as Virginia Governor with at least three major-league scandals brewing.

10) A Progressive Populist who makes Elizabeth Warren look like Joe Lieberman will toss his or her hat into the Dem Primary race by October.

Faux News got rid of Dick Morris for making the exact same prediction about last year’s presidential election, but keep Porky Pig Rove on the payroll.

It will have its darkest nights, but like the start of winter, when the days start to get longer, the light will come back in.

You better bet TX will give a big vote in 2014 to George P. Some just never learn.

Sound possible, but VA will never figure out how awful their voter decisions are.

10) A Progressive Populist who makes Elizabeth Warren look like Joe Lieberman will toss his or her hat into the Dem Primary race by October.

It will be November, buoyed by his landslide win in New York, Prince Andrew will announce that he intends to be president.

My Predictions! Fearless as they may well be.

1. New scandals will hit the White House that will further tarnish Obama and his wife.
2. Obama will be removed under new scandals by June.
3. Biden will pardon ex-President Obama and become involved in scandal himself.
4. By August he will name Hillary as his VP.
5. By September Biden (now called Obiden) will resign.
6. Hillary will name John Kerry as her VP.
7. Bill Clinton will be made Sec. of State.
8. Hillary will dump Obamacare for a bi-partisan plan.
9. Hillary will run for President as an “outsider”
10. GOP to take Senate by a thin margin—hold House.
My Predictions—2014—the year of Three Presidents.

I predict that in 2014 Obama will resign as President because of sickness.

Everybody got sick of him.

What in the world made you say the Bush II was a Republican?

He was, is, and will be a RINO. Go look at your history. MORE BIGGER G’ment

RE: I don’t have WSJ; please post the list; can’t access it.

He did not have a list, just predictions he wrote in several paragraphs. If you can’t access the WSJ site, you can access Karl Rove’s own website. The same article is there.

I agree with you on Bush.

I hope and pray Abbott is a small g’ment guy.
