Why you should add Midknight Review to your book marks: A look at our January,2010, predictions.

Predictions (written on January 4, 2010)

The GOP will win enough seats in the House to force a certain degree of partisanship -- perhaps 35 seats.

YES. Of course, the GOP took back the House with a super majority.

Several big name liberals will be gone and the Senate will lose its “super majority” status for the Democrats. Chris Dodd (D-Conn) and Hary Reid (D-Nev) are at the top of this list. Some lists include Barbara Boxer (D-Ca). She will have a "close call" but will be re-elected.

KIND OF YES. Dodd had to retire; Reid had to close the casino's so the unions would come out and vote him back into office (a little known fact); and Boxer did have one of her closer election cycles.

The Leno Show will cancel.

Leno's new should survived.

Crude oil futures will hit $140 a barrel and bring a halt to any “recovery.”

Crude remains in the $90 per barrel range.

Bret Favre will play one more year and play for the Vikings.

YES. Ah, finally an accurate prediction.

Dallas and San Diego will play in the Super Bowl - Dallas will win its 6^th title.

I''M AN IDIOT. In my dreams !!!

The trial of KSM and the other four terrorists in New York will prove a disaster for the Obama Administration - the trial will extend beyond 2010.

Obama chickened out and move the trial back to GITMO.

There will be a successful homeland terrorist attack.

Thank God I am wrong on this, but a little surprised.

9.2% unemployment by the mid-term elections.

YES. Close on this one.

Mortgage foreclosures will continue to be a huge problem - 7 million mortgages are being held back in what some describe as the Shadow Market.

YES. Spot on.

Healthcare will be signed into law but will be nothing like the intended bill. Consistent with our earlier predictions, the Dems will not combine the House and Senate bills in a "conference report," as is the case for most legislation. In avoiding this process, they avoid the 60 vote requirement in the Senate and huge floor fight in the House.

YES. Again, an accurate prediction.

Cap and Trade will not pass through the 111^th Congress.

Yes !! Again a major victory for common sense and freedom.

The split in the Democrat Party will widen and become apparent to the general public as Obama continues to seek Marxist legislation, throwing Blue Dog Democrats under the bus.

YES. Another accurate prediction, one that has "legs" and is proving itself to be "more true" with the passing of time.

Sarah Palin will not announce for President this year (maybe later but not now). She will play a key role in the grassroots conservative movement that is currently sweeping the nation.

YES. She did not announce in 2010 and proved to be a major player in the 2010 midterms. 17 of the 20 targeted for defeat by Palin, went down in flames.

Midknight Review will change url addresses one more time as it transitions to Word Press where is will be free to openly discuss issues -- something that is not possible for this editor at this time.

I decided to stay with Google. Why? I really have no clue.
