The clairvoyance of DUers

[DavidDvorkin]

How do they do it? What magical power enables so many DUers to know, with utter certainty, who will win Iowa and who will win the Democratic nomination?

I have no idea who will win either of those, and so I'm in awe of their mystical abilities.

1. I could tell you, but . . .

I prefer the aura of mystery my very existence engenders.

(Insert spooky theremin music here.)

[DavidDvorkin]

2. Ooooooooo

[Blue-Jay]

3. Meh. It's just wishful thinking combined with diarrhea of the keyboard.

No law against that, I suppose.

[AlCzervik]

4. the power of wishful thinking.

my speculator is on the fritz so i have no idea who's going to win what.

[ClassWarrior]

5. Or that IMPEACHMENT will never succeed!

:rofl:

It's amazing!!

NGU.

[rocktivity]

6. Nope, it's just common sense, plus the courage to embrace it

For the millionth time, I wish we had access to the 2002 DU threads so you could see how people predicted civil war, the possibility of Iraq breaking up into religion-based regions, and of course not sending enough troops!

7. I read Jason Leopold assiduously.

[BeatleBoot]

8. There Are So Many Experts Here It Is Amazing...

The common denominator is that most were raised watching Leonard Nimoy narrate "In Search Of..."

Roswell
Loch Ness Monster
Yetti
Bigfoot
The Bermuda Triangle
UFO's
Nostradamus Quatrains
Ouijai Boards
Paul McCartney Death Clues

9. They're also telepathic. I have had my mind read many times while at DU.

It seems I am of low moral character.

10. I know but I'm not telling

:evilgrin:

11. You obviously do not hold the powers and we cannot tell you them.

cause if you did, you would know.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. Those who know, do not tell.

Those who tell, do not know.

Gore's gonna jump in any minuye now.

[Buzz Clik]

13. It's the polls. DUers are addicted to polls, and we have been polled on all decisions.

I love polls.

[Lex]

14. Aw darn. You figured out that they don't really know for sure!

Clever, clever.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. No, I assumed that they really did know!

And they'd let me in on the secret!

Now you've gone and disillusioned me.

[Lex]

18. Awww, sorry.

Don't ask me about Santa Claus.

20. You mean I have been wasting my money on the AA battery?

shucks!!!!!!!!

[Ravy]

15. Did you ever stop to consider.. that some time in the distant future...

some hacker will figure out a way to go back and change the DU archives so that certain posters look smart?

And that is what you are seeing now...

[DavidDvorkin]

17. If I knew how to do that

I'd go back and insert properly time-stamped correct predictions of events under my name, and then I'd set up a Web site advertising my psychic services.

Not that psychics seem to need evidence of accuracy, though.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. You know my guide is history

and given history I am sure some folks are in for some cute surprises.

That said...

A democrat will win the Iowa caucus and a republican will win it too

how'se that for clairvoyance?

:evilgrin:

21. Precognition and telepathy seem to be common DU skills.

Far more common than logic or even spelling. :silly:
