Chris Christie will be the Republican Jimmy Carter.

Combined with Republicans taking back the Senate in either 2014 or 2016, that would mean we could be seeing the possibility of three new Supreme Court nominations, with Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Anthony Kennedy finally seeing the chance to retire with the certainty that a conservative would replace them.  That would finally spell the end of Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey (preferably either in 2019 or early 2020), setting the stage for a feminist backlash that would reverberate for decades to come.  That would be the perfect year for Hillary Clinton to run, riding the inevitable wave of outrage following the decision.  One way or another, the Democratic base will be howling for a woman to be the nominee.    

How plausible a scenario is this?  

Whether Republicans take back the Senate or not in 2014, they are almost certainly losing it in 2016.  They have pretty much no Dem targets in that cycle and have three almost certain losers right off the bat(Kirk, Johnson, and Toomey).

A lot of things can change in four years, Phips.  If you were here in 2004, could you foresee what would happen in 2008 -and in the intervening years?  

Yes, I did, actually.
