I predicted about two years ago – long before either announced their candidacy – that the 2008 election would be Hillary Clinton vs. John McCain. For most of the past two years, I’ve thought that was a pretty dumb prediction because it looked like there was no way in hell that’s how the ticket would play out. Everyone hated Clinton and it seemed like McCain had lost favor among the Republicans. But the past couple of months makes me think it’s a real possibility. I just wish I’d blogged my prediction back in 2006 when I made it, so I could say “I told you so” without someone accusing me of revisionism.
