McLaughlin Prediction Time Capsule

I like John McLaughlin's show. He's got a good schtick, and I like that he forces his panelists to make predictions. He himself makes them as well, and given the gutsy (and questionable) nature of a few of them, I thought it best to preserve them here, in this blog-based time capsule of sorts, to be resurrected at a later date.

His two most noteworthy predictions as of late are as follows:

His claim on the February 11th episode that Tony Blair will not win a third term.
His prediction on February 4th that "In the 2006 elections next year, the House will be seized by the Democrats."

We'll see how the first turns out. The second looks rather dubious already; Republicans hold a 31-seat lead over the Democrats in the House of Representatives in the 109th Congress, and though the ruling party tends to lose seats, recent elections have been turning such precedents on their head; especially at times favorable to Republicans.
