Predictions

March 6, 2010: If the economy hasn't turned around, the Democrats can kiss Congress good-bye.

March 6, 2011: If the economy STILL hasn't turned around, President Obama should be a little nervous.

March 6, 2012: If the economy STILL hasn't turned around (or has gotten, heaven forbid, worse) then President Obama is going to be a one-term President.*

*All predictions subject to change and will probably be completely wrong. Prediction #3 is, of course, dependent on the GOP getting its collective shit together, which right now doesn't look likely. They can't even decide whose in charge and, to be frank, if Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal are the best you've got, then you're in trouble. But as Harold Wilson (PM) said- 'A week is a long time in politics' and if a week is a long time in politics, 3 years or so is an eon. Political devotees are also making some noise about Mitt Romney, but I'll tell you right now: I don't care if we're in the worst Depression ever in 2012. If Mitt Romney is the alternative, I'm voting for Obama again.
