ACADEMIC NO SOOTHSAYER

Dr David Lundberg a senior lecturer in politics and international relations at the University of South Australia makes a prediction in an article lambasting America's appalling political processes:

Polls indicate that the January 8 New Hampshire primary will confirm the momentum building for lawyer and Illinois Senator Barack Obama to become the 2008 Democrat presidential candidate, despite the substantial party establishment and financial support for lawyer, ex-First Lady and New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Well, the polls got it wrong, now didn't they? But Lundberg's right about one thing, neither of the front-running Democrats has the necessary experience.
