A Few Predictions

Here are my thoughts on a few things. These are based on nothing more than a gut feel:

1. Senator Frist will change the Senate rules and the rest of President Bush's judicial nominees will be approved during this session of Congress.

2. John Bolton will be confirmed as ambassador to the U.N.

3. Tom DeLay will face his ethics probe. The highly partisan probe will capture the attention of the country, distract from the other business going on in Congress, and will allow most of the Republican's legislative agenda to move through with little fanfare. Ultimately, DeLay will get thrown under the bus and will have to step down as the leader of the Republicans in the House. However, he'll take a few Democrats and Republicans with him.

4. Karl Rove will start instructing Dr. James Dobson and other religious leaders to tone it down, let the "we're living in a theocracy" argument die, and rest assured that the President will continue to advance the conservative agenda in a more subtle way.

Thoughts?

UPDATE: Sorry, one more: Jim Spencer of the DP will continue to write columns about only 2 subjects - emergency contraception and the Denver 3. Diane Carman will also write about these 2 subjects, but will throw in an occasional column about homelessness.
