Okay, Mark, you've pointed out several of Bill Krystal's wildly inaccurate predictions in the past. Well, this time he got one right; he predicted Sarah Palin as the v.p. pick for McCain. You can argue that even a broken clock is right twice a day, but give credit where credit is due!
I'm not sure if it was a prediction so much as a suggestion that maybe McCain picked up on…but okay, Bill Kristol (that's how he spells it) did mention Sarah Palin as a potential veep two months ago. At the time, she wasn't on too many folks' radar. But I would also point out that shortly before McCain settled on anyone, Kristol penned this column in which he made a strong case for Joe Lieberman as the best possible pick and dismissed Palin because she "has been governor for less than two years." So he kinda backed off his own prediction before it could come true.
