Predict the Obama Presidency

[Nutmeg]

Change, yes, but change bastardized by the Harry Reids and Nancy Pelosis of the world.

If he wins enough of an electoral mandate, I could imagine Obama maneuvering (behind the scenes, of course) for Durbin to move up to the top spot.

Oh, we can only hope! I'd love for my former least favorite U.S. Senator to become the GOP punching bag. 

It would probably be a win for both parties, in that Durbin would be far more visible and vocal than has been that wimp Reid, with corresponding legislative and public relations benefits and costs for each caucus.

[Nutmeg]

Probably a greater contraction of the economy, coupled with unemployment.

Possibly a greater Iranian influence in the Persian Gulf.

Also, everyone will die.
