		<description>Kudlow is not just predicting a McCain victory. He's saying it's inevitable.  

So how did this confident prophet do with the previous election?  Consider his posts just after and just after the 2006 vote.  &lt;a href="http://kudlowsmoneypolitics.blogspot.com/2006/11/surprise-surprise.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Just before&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt;A series of late-October, early November surprises has turned the midterm elections into a real horse race. The bullish stock markets of recent months have been saying all along that a Democratic tsunami will not materialize, but now even a decent Dem wave seems a long shot.
...
Without question, Bush versus Kerry in the final days of the midterm campaign is a solid plus for Republicans who are cutting their deficits in key House races and reinforcing their hold on the Senate. But even if the Democrats capture the House, they will have done so with many pro-life, pro-business, pro-national-security “Blue Dogs” -- conservative Democrats who may deliver a 2006 post-election surprise. 
...
Put simply, while the Democrats may get a Pyrrhic victory in a six-year-itch close House win, in effect they will have suffered another substantial defeat. A lost opportunity with a losing message.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The entire post is a hoot in view of what's taken shape in the economy since November 2006.

&lt;a href="http://kudlowsmoneypolitics.blogspot.com/2006/11/alls-well-on-conservative-front.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;The day after&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt; All's Well on the Conservative Front
Voters took the GOP to the woodshed—no doubt about it.

That said, I don’t see these election results as a conservative defeat, but as a Republican defeat.
...
Republicans may have lost—but the conservative ascendancy is still alive and well.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Just think of what a sick conservative ascendancy would look like...</description>
