Beginning in January 1975, New York Times columnist Bill Safire offered his readers a multiple-choice test to elicit their political predictions for the year ahead. With nods to Safire and my psychic friend Dionne Warwick, I present my own prognostication quiz to Gay City News readers, but with a progressive, LGBT twist.

I really hope the candidates get asked this question (from the article.)

"Without telling us you support civil unions, which we understand, can you give us examples of how marriages between two people of the same sex would hurt the institution of marriage?"

Let the stuttering and sputtering begin...

Oh, when I read the headline I was thinking something so much different. 

If you could really predict the future you would not waste that stuff on surveys, or political nonsense, you would be betting the farm on the trifecta at Hialeah.  And if you were not doing that, then your just dumb.
