Prediction

Well as many of you know my thesis is going to use scenario forecasting to try to predict how new media is going to effect the political process. I figured I would start doing some forecasting right here at the Media Dork. Here it is:

2006 is going to be a huge midterm election.

What can I say? I'm a genius. Seriously, 2006 is shaping out to be very interesting. CNN has a poll today that says, "A majority of Americans are more likely to vote for a candidate in November's congressional elections who opposes President Bush, and 58 percent consider his second term a failure so far..."

And it is interesting to think of how 2006 will set-up 2008...a year where there is no succession candidate on either side of the aisle. Should be an interesting three years of politics.

I included that pic of Bush just because it makes me laugh.
