2008 election prognostication

Here's my guess at the moment:

November 2008: Obama sweeps all but 5 states. The Democrats control Congress by a wide margin.

2009: The economy is in recession with high inflation. Obama accelerates the withdrawal from Iraq. This strengthens the dollar and eases inflation.

2010: Obama appoints a Supreme Court Justice. He introduces nationalized medicine. This mobilizes the consevative base of the Republicans, who win back seats in the mid-term elections.
