What would the political effects in the United States be if any of these events or trends occur over the next four years.
-Current economic recession becomes a depression
-Oil and fuel prices shoot up higher then before
-The big three American auto corporations go bankrupt
- There is a major scandal in the Obama Administration or among the Democrats in general
- Another terrorist attack occurs on US interests at home or aboard
-The sititution in central/South Asia gets worse
and so much more
So what could happen politically under these conditions?
Economic Depression:
(This map mixes Huckabee, Palin and Romney together as candidates)
Fuel Prices:
(This one is hard because I assumed an economic recovery to go with it)
Big three auto corporations go bankrupt:
(I assumed a small economic recovery and a mix of Republican candidates)
Major Scandal:
(I assumed a big economic recovery and a Lewinsky type scandal for Obama)
Terrorist Attack:
(I assumed a big economic recovery and a Madrid train bombing type terrorist attack)
Really? Basically the only way we loses is if we enter a depression, and it isn't even a landslide?
He still wins comfortably even with a major scandal? The Clinton scandal was hardly major ..
I think the economy will turn around before 2012 and we'll be reelecting him, but if we were to somehow relapse into a depression beforehand, he would lose by a lot worse than your map unless we nominate Palin or someone in her folksy, populist mold.
