3. And the BIG story of the year could be the death of Castro. His death will almost assuredly result in the end of American economic sanctions, the Republicans want Latino votes. His death might also result in the end of communism in Cuba, a very positive step. I?ll go out on a limp and predict that if the communist government falls and is replaced by some type of free government the leader of that government ends up on the cover of Time as person of the year. I think a change in government down there would have that huge of an impact on news in the next year. (Of course Raul could take over for big brother and nothing could change.)

I predict that Bush will have a mental breakdown. He may be secretly hospitalized. Right now, the man looks mentally exhausted as his world is slowly turning upside down. Cheney is useless at this stage and from is political position.

Hate ruin everyone?s fun with a serious post, but I think the stories of 2007 will be:
1. Iraq, again.
2. Democratic take over of congress, the good, the bad and the ugly. I am sure we will get examples of all three.
3. And the BIG story of the year could be the death of Castro. His death will almost assuredly result in the end of American economic sanctions, the Republicans want Latino votes.

4. Finally, the less eventful the year is the more we will hear about the 2008 race for President. If congress does a lot and accomplishes a lot, or does not accomplish due to fighting and vetoes, then look for little news on 2008. But if it is a quiet year for news we may all be tired of 2008 news before the first primary.
Bush only becomes a true lame duck in early 2008 when all the focus turns to the election. As I remember once that started Clinton sort of faded from view.Originally posted by: Tab
