Obama gets re-elected,. The republicans don't have any strong candidates, but it feels like choosing between a hamburger and a hot dog.
The occupy movement will dissappear. The arab spring will end in Syria. There will be more violent incidents with far right people in Europe.
No countries will leave the euro, because it would be too expensive to drop out. The crisis will end. Not in 2012 but sooner than you think.

I agree that the Republicans don't have any strong candidates and that if it were between Obama and the GOP, he would win. But I think has a point that if a 3rd party candidate (say Ron Paul on the Libertarian ticket) were to split the vote on the left, Obama would lose. I don't think the future looks good for the Obama campaign. Then again, he may have some tricks up his sleeve.
Hotdog or Hamburger? I think you're right about that. I, like much of the country, have lost my appetite.

I don't know much about Bloomberg but it's my understanding that he essentially poured so much money at campaigning that there was no way for him to lose?

I'm with you. I'm voting straight Hubski ticket. Who's running?
Seriously though, I can't see myself voting for anyone from the traditional parties. What a shame, I really had high hopes for the Obama administration. I haven't been this disappointed since I saw this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120915/
