  Washington, D.C. is used to holding pretty extravagant festivals, but the inauguration of Barack Obama may test the capital.

  The numbers being thrown about, according to this article, could hit $7 million.

  Quote: She’s poised to make a ton of money,” said Howard Rubenstein, New York’s best-known public relations adviser.

  It's well known Barack Obama has a love affair - or addiction - to his blackberry.

  But as president, he's probably going to have to go through withdrawals and give it up.

  There are two primary reasons: security and the law.

  Twelve of the last 14 U.S. Supreme Court justices were named by Republicans.

  With three of the more liberal justices getting up in years, Democrat Barack Obama may well have the opportunity to name a couple to the nation's highest court.

  I haven't seen it yet, but Time Magazine's review says former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee pretty much rips into everyone.

  Well with all the media hype and gushing headlines, you'd think The One has shown up.

  Oh wait, he has.

  But the big question is how long will the media fawning - complete with videos, special editions and just about anything else to make a buck - continue with Barack Obama?

  In fact, they like her better John McCain, their presidential nominee.

  According to this Rasmussen Reports survey, more than two-thirds think she helped the party's ticket and only 20 percent said she hurt it.

  Salon magazine has put together some of the best - and completely wrong - pundits' predictions on the 2008 election.

  Looking back at some of these, it's amazing how off they were.

  Here's a couple of choice ones:
