No one is really sure why Latino and Asian Democrats tilted so heavily in favor of Clinton in the California primaries. One could suppose if the women leaned for Hillary and the men were evenly split it would create some of the gap, but that’s not enough. Policy wise, Obama and Hillary overlap heavily, but Obama tends to do better at pulling independants and moderates.

To correct the gross mis-statement Kev made, the Bush tax cuts that will be rolled back primarily only affect those making over $250k a year. I think most Americans have realized at this point that those tax cuts really only benefitted the uber-rich, while throwing a tiny bone to the middle class (And if you’re sub 100K a year, you’re middle class, and should vote Democrat if you’re voting with your pocketbook)

Home prices will continue to fall nationwide. I’ll put San Diego at overall -10% from the start of the year. The NRA will call bottoms almost monthly, especially when prices flatline (or slightly uptick) during the Spring buying season.

Q1 will see a barely positive, nearly flat growth of the economy (think +0.1% or so). Q2 will go negative, and by Q3 we’ll officially be in recession. By the end of 2008 the recession will be almost over.

Despite rampant inflation, the nominal value of the dollar vs. other currencies will stabilize as Europeans continue flocking to the US for tourism and buying up cheap goods.

Obama will win the Democratic nomination and defeat whoever emerges from the muddled Republican group, as none of them can carry both fiscal and social conservatives. The Democrats will also pick up a couple seats in the Senate, and make modest gains in the house.

The new administration will have their work cut out for them; an expensive war in Iraq that continues draining our nation’s coffers, Stagflation, and the ticking time bomb that is Baby Boomers retiring and straining Social Security. Still, 2009 will likely bring a return to Bill Clinton-style economics, gradually leading to a return to prosperity for the Middle Class, and general grumbling by the Very Rich.

Wait, there’s a political thread here, and no one has mentioned Ron Paul yet?

I agree with the posted National Review article… Huckabee is a dream candidate for the Democrats. I heard a quote that one unaffiliated Republican stratagist suggested that nominating Huckabee would be like nominating Pat Robertson.

Still, it was bad for Romney to take 2nd in Iowa.

I think this depends a lot on your age, and the woman and man involved.

I tend to think a kiss is a nice way to end a good first date. Based on my experience, most women in their mid-to-late 20s feel the same way. But I tend to date liberal, college educated women, which may skew my sampling.

Frankly, if she doesn’t want to kiss you at the end of a first date, that may be a signal of lack of interest, unless she made it clear that she was interested, and just wanted to take things slow.
