Kreskin said he has predicted the GOP nominee and the overall winner for the 2012 Presidential election. The names came to him, he said, after 27 hours of deliberation.

He presented Briggs and Jessie Frees, whose radio show "Ask the Expert" airs just before Briggs' show, with a sealed box containing his predictions. The locked box will be opened with both Frees and Briggs on the day after the 2012 election.
