  1. Made 3 predictions for this: the nominee; Tea Party Split; all 3 clauses
  2. Agree on 50-50, rest too vague
  3. Already a bunch of predictions
  4. Too ideological to judge later (not that one expects much from a J Galt)
  5. Seems somewhat objective, but I don't care enough to want to dig through real estate statistics to try to divine the right numbers
  6. Seems pretty reasonable. Nobody would try to pass it if they thought it'd be struck down immediately; I excluded your repeal bill claims, though, sticking to just the Supreme Court decision.
  7. http://predictionbook.com/predictions/5070 Conjunction and narrative fallacies much?
