I guess I should stop making all these dopey predictions. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter whether or not some columnist forecasted correctly ahead of time. Besides, I have sometimes been wrong and when I have been right, they were very easy events to announce ahead of time, so easy, many others were making the same predictions.
OK. I got that off my chest, so here I go. (You really didn't expect me to stop, did you?) For what it's worth, this one, I have not heard others talk about. It has to do with Nancy Pelosi. Oh, sure, the conventional wisdom is that she will no longer be Speaker-Of-The House after Tuesday because Republicans will win a land slide majority in the House of Representatives. But Nancy is a representative from San Francisco. This means that even as she loses her prestige as Speaker, she will still hold on to her seat as a congresswoman. So far, I agree. Here is where I am going out on a limb. After losing the job as Speaker, I do not believe Miss Pelosi will have the humility to hang around as just another face in the crowd. Watch for her to resign her congressional seat as well. She'll say something to the effect of, "I cannot in good conscience hang around and work with 'the party of no.' I have no regrets.I will always be grateful for the historical progress we made and I did it for the American people, even if time will have to show that we did the right thing."
Just an idea. If it never happens, forget this prediction. I assure you, I will. If it does happen, remember, you heard it here first.
This is Bob Siegel making the not so obvious, even cloudier.
