    It depends on the training data. Here is a dataset of Congressional Voting Records. http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Congressional+Voting+Records http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Congressional+Voting+... I can think of a few algorithms that could be used to classify this data and possibly predict outcomes.

      My job involves "predicting stuff". There is however a difference between predicting outcomes and doing so with a high degree of accuracy.

    Even if its true, I'd worry about the times when it gets something wrong. Any unusual attributes in a case and an expert system would probably have a tough time dealing with it properly (whatever proper means in the context).
