Foreign Policy magazine published a list of the ten worst predictions of 2008. The first of which is:
“If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she’s going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. … Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.”I often wonder whether the talking heads of television, and not just conservative bastion Fox News, are worth listening to. I guess it makes a difference if the talking head is a "one shot" such as a professor at a distinguished university brought on to discuss his area of expertise, or one of the people who are on every night or every week, discussing a broad range of subjects.

In any case, read the article for a good sample of remarks that proved really wrong over the year!
