My predictions for 2009

Here’s a few predictions I’m going to make for 2009:

• Scott Walker will announce he’s running for Governor. (I know, this is an easy one, but I need a gimme or two on this list)
• Sometime in 2009, Rep. Paul Ryan will announce he’s going to challenge Sen. Russ Feingold for Feingold’s U.S. Senate seat, which is up for election in 2010.
• We won’t see lines for food or other basic necessities once Barack Obama takes office, as predicted by one conservative blogger.
• The economy will be in significantly better shape before the end of the summer.
• At least one more blogger will win an elected office. (There are at least three that I know of that are running for elections in April 2009)
• Soon to be former Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota will be implicated and convicted of public misconduct before Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
• Brett Favre will finally hang up his cleats rather than play another season for a mediocre Jets team.
• The Brewers will surprise a lot of people and win 90 games in the 2009 season.
• Fred Thompson’s new radio show will last just about as long as his presidential campaign, and it’ll be about as successful.
• State Rep. Jeff Wood will refuse to resign his seat in the Assembly and will promptly be booted out in a recall effort by his constituents.

I’m willing to bet I’ll be wrong on these predictions more than I’m right, but let’s see how 2009 unfolds!
