Chris Matthews[MSNBC’s Hardball]: I think the problem that [Bill] Clinton has, intrinsically, is basic dishonesty. I think that’s it. He is …
Jeff Berkowitz: Wasn’t it Bob Kerrey who said [Bill Clinton] is an unusually good liar…
Chris Matthews: And, he is unusually good at it, that’s the scary part. I think sometimes when Clinton would say things like, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,” he was …

****************************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: Predictions. Let’s go into 2007. The most significant event, looking forward: The US-Iraq government stabilizes; The US-Iraq government fails; Hillary drops out…
Dan Proft, political campaign consultant: It’s a rough show—I mean predicting the death of [Senator Tim Johnson]---
****************************************
Eric Zorn: I don’t think there’s going to be either stability or failure in Iraq. I think Iraq is just going to continue to slide down. I hadn’t thought of Cheney resigning, but I think that may well happen-- to put somebody—to give somebody a leg up [in the 2008 Presidential race].
**********************************
Jeff Berkowitz: So what is your most significant event in 2007, Dan Proft, take a shot.
Dan Proft: The most significant event, if it happened-
Jeff Berkowitz: Your prediction.
Dan Proft: If it happened, would be Barack Obama by the end of 2007 being the putative nominee for the Democratic party.
******************************************************
Eric Zorn: …I am going to predict again that Barack Obama is going to be way out in front, in the polls and so on, at this time next year…
Jeff Berkowitz: He is going to be way out ahead of Hillary, and way out ahead of Edwards? He is going to be the candidate--
Eric Zorn: I think he’s going to have significant momentum. No one will have cast a vote a year from now-
Dan Proft: Right.
***************************************
Jeff Berkowitz: …And, most importantly, [Edwards] has, or at least did have, Pete Giangreco behind him [in 2004]. I don’t know if Pete’s decided if he’s working for Edwards or Obama.
Dan Proft: [Laughter] Yes. That’s the most critical thing.
Jeff Berkowitz: It’s clear that where Pete goes, so goes the Presidency. Our good friend, Pete Giangreco, Democratic campaign strategist [The Strategy Group]…
**********************************************
Dan Proft: … Not only is Hastert the most stagnant thinker on this list, but he was probably one of the most stagnant thinkers in the last several years.
Jeff Berkowitz: So you guys are in agreement. Most stagnant thinker is Speaker Denny Hastert…
******************************
Dan Proft: But, Speaker Hastert proved, in 2006, why he was the accidental Speaker.
