By ERIC EPSTEIN

Forget the other predictions. Here’s how it will all go down.

10. Bill DeWeese will be indicted before table games are legislated.

9. Tom Knox will officially change his name to Vince Fumo.

8. Gov. Ed Rendell will appoint Patrick Meehan to the Turnpike Commission.

7. Dan Onarato will tax ice cubes.

6. The Pa Supreme Court will continue do nothing as Louis DeNaples stashes cash, favors, and politicians.

5. Tad Decker and Jeff Coy will switch parties so Tom Corbett can indict a Republican.

4. Don Cunningham will be turned down for a “relevancy grant” through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

3. Ernie Preate will be named as Peg Luksik’s “spiritual adviser.”

2. The Mount Airy Lodge will receive a tourism grant from Rendell, host a work release wing, and be the site of a fundraiser for Bob Mellow.

1. Arlen Specter and Pat Toomey will elope to Vermont.
