Country Fried PREDICTION: Hillary Clinton Will Not Be the Next President

In other words, the next President of the United States will be either John McCain or Barack Obama.

Notice that I did not say that Hillary Clinton would not be the Democrat nominee. I still think she has a good chance of winning the Democrat nomination (though, today, I think that Barack Obama has a better chance). What I said is that she will not be the next President. (Spelling that out: If she wins the Democrat nomination, John McCain wins the election.)

Also, just in case you haven't looked at any other news source in the last four hours, John Edwards is currently announcing his departure from the Democrat race.

I think that's right, Gary. If Obama nicks the nomination, it will be a nailbiter. (That's the match up I'm hoping for, btw.) If Hillary wins, McCain wins by--what?--ten points perhaps. It's ironic that the Republican side may be consolidating behind one candidate while the Democrats devour each other. At the outset of the campaign build up, it looked like just the opposite.
