Mexico's Grand Warlock Predicts Obama Will Lose

Antonio Vazquez, who calls himself the "Brujo Mayor", or grand warlock, leads a Mexican tradition of "brujeria" (sorcery), centered in the south-eastern city of Catemac...Of Mr Obama, he said: "I feel Obama will lose. They will attack him a lot. The Republicans have all the money in the United States and so they are putting a lot of pressure on him to make mistakes".

The grand warlock predicted that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who claims to have beaten an unspecified cancer, would have what he termed a "terrible relapse". Speaking at a news conference in Mexico City, Mr Vazquez - who gets his insights from tarot card readings and astrology - put the cancer cases down to "witchcraft" against Latin American leaders.

Though he claims an accuracy rate of up to 80%, Mr Vazquez has a mixed success rate. Last year, he foresaw that the euro would weaken and recession would return to developed economies but he also predicted, incorrectly, that a Latin American leader would be assassinated. In 2008, he erroneously foretold the death of US singer Britney Spears.

****************************

At first I thought this guy might be scouted by FOX news to add some legitimacy to their "analysis," but then I understood that he wasn't advocating Obama's defeat, just blindly stabbing in the dark and hoping he hits something (anything) that he can use to try to improve his visibility.

Then I knew he was destined for CNN.

3. I remember the predictions from 2004 that Bush would lose
