Whenever I have a strong feeling about the outcome of a particular contest, one of two things occurs. If I remain silent and keep my prediction to myself, it comes true. If I voice my conviction, I'm invariably wrong.

I didn't say a word when I knew the Patriots would win the Super Bowl two years ago. I held my tongue when I was absolutely sure Sarah Hughes would take the figure skating gold in Salt Lake. Both happened.

I was absolutely convinced that Al Gore would win the 2000 election, and later that he would come out on top in the Florida recount. I said so loudly to any and all who would listen. We know how that turned out.

With this in mind I make the following prediction, which I know with every fiber of my being to be a mortal lock: in the California recall election, Gray Davis will lose his seat, and Arnold Schwarzenegger will take over as governor.

Let's hope my streak continues.
