Make a prediction that will not look stupid four years from now.

Here is one that I can stick with:

WE WILL HAVE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ON 06 NOVEMBER 2012!!

Pawlenty-Romney versus Obama-Biden

[Mechaman]

4. Sarah Palin wins the GOP 2012 presidential nomination.  I am uncertain who she'll pick as her running-mate, but the top three candidates I think she would look very closely at would include the two Oklahoma senators (Tom Coburn & Jim Inhofe), as well as Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina.  

Result:

Key: Margin of Victory (Palin, R-AK_, Coburn or Imhofe, F-OK) vs. Obama/Biden

Palin wins, 10% or more
Palin wins, 5-9.9%
Palin wins, 0-4.0%

Obama wins, 0-4.0%
Obama wins, 5-9.9%
Palin wins, 10% or more

F stands for Fascist.

DeMint would help Palin win South Carolina and Louisiana but lose the Dakotas and NE-01, but make Texas very close in contrast to what Coburn or Imhofe would do.

For once I have to say that Pbrower is being waaaaaay too nice to the Republicans here.

[Psychic Octopus]

Yeah, the Dakotas would probably flip, and Alaska and Texas would be close.

[President Mitt]

If we pick Jim DeMint as our VP we deserve to be knifed in the balls. He's everything stereotypical about the Republican Party: Southern, White, and an Asshole.

[Deldem]

The world will still be here, and all the Mayan calendar conspiracy theorists will look really stupid.

I doubt even Sarah Palin is that dumb. At least her campaign advisors aren't.

[Mechaman]

But seriously Republicans, if you want to lose in the first 500+ ev landslide since 1984 then by all means put Tom Coburn or James Inhofe on the ticket.

     I doubt she would. No sitting President has ever been successfully primaried, though some have come close. Maybe if Obama's first term proves to be a disaster she'll go for it, but otherwise I expect she would wait until 2016. She's probably hoping that Biden runs with Obama again in 2012 since that would leave the Democratic field wide open for 2016.

President Franklin Pierce. Lost the Democratic nomination in 1856.

[hfred]

Obama is reelected in 2012, The GOP takes the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2012.

He wasn't primaried.

Alan Keyes wins a 400+ electoral vote landslide after the Republican Party finds out that they weren't being "conservative enough".


Alan Keyes giving his pimpin wag of the finger after whooping some nice Democratic booty in the 2012 election. Fools betta recognize!

[sentinel]

Obama is reelected in 2012, The GOP takes the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2012.

 There are only 7 "tossups" in the House, how is the GOP going to overcome those odds? They have a better chance of taking the Senate in 2010, which is extremely slim to begin with. Even with tossups, Democrats would still have 55.

What are your predictions for Republican gains in the house, sirnick?

Look at the degree of the blues (Democratic). You see that they barely carry for Geithner. Keyes whittles down the margins in those states he almost flips.

[GLPman]

My prediction: Republicans will gain between 4-5 seats in the Senate in 2010. In 2012, President Obama will be narrowly re-elected over a dark horse republican who chooses one of the current leading candidates as his/her running mate.

Why does Keyes only win Dukakis states?

[Psychic Octopus]

Lol Minnesota. I think every state would vote against turbo-tax.

Um... yeah... As for my prediction, If the GOP retakes the house, Obama wins, if the GOP doesn't, Romney wins.

I really don't have a prediction. I'm not familiar with the individuals running in the tossup districts. I think the House won't change much. Less than a 10 seat change.

[Zarn]

So the country loses no matter what.

I have my prediction: It will be bad.

Millard Fillmore.

Anyhow:

• Sarah Palin runs for the presidency and is ultimately reduced to statistical irrelevancy as time goes on in the primary.
• Someone will primary Obama from the left, and get nowhere doing it.
• The tea party movement will hijack a third party (Constitution Party comes to mind) or start one of their own.
• The health care bill will no garner 60 votes and be reworked in reconciliation.
• There will not be job growth (jobs created) until late in Obama's first term.
• A major politician (perhaps a senator) will be involved in a massive scandal.
• Republicans and conservatives will be disappointed in 2010.
• The 2012 election is decided by one state, probably one with an average amount of electoral votes. Can't say who would win though.
