The Wrongest Pundits

Now that the election is over, Salon has posted some of the worst predictions of the campaign season. The top three, from bad to worst:

“I think it’s probably going to be Romney for the Republicans, Hillary for the Democrats.”
-Ann Coulter on Fox News’ “Hannity & Colmes,” Dec. 20, 2007

“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 … Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single democratic primary. I’ll predict that right now.”
-Bill Kristol on “Fox News Sunday,” Dec. 17, 2006

“I think [Obama has] been dead in the water since the primaries. He is going to need to be up 10 to 12 points to win by 3 or 4 … Don’t forget that Hillary winning was a foregone conclusion, too. If the polls had been right it would have been Giuliani versus Hillary. That’s why polls a year out are worthless.”
-Rush Limbaugh to the London Telegraph, Oct. 31, 2008
