McCain wins and retires after 1 term so she can run.

“How is it that I am a good actor? What I do is I... pretend to be the person I’m portraying. You’re confused. Case in point: in Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson comes to me and says ‘I would like you to be Gandalf the Wizard,’ and I said ‘You are aware that I am not really a wizard?’ and Peter Jackson said ‘I would like you to use your acting skills to portray a wizard for the duration of the show.’ So I said ‘Okay’ and then I said to myself ‘Mmm.. How do I do that?’ And this is what I did: I imagined that I was a wizard, and then I pretended, and acted, in that way on the stage. How did I know what to say? The words were written down for me in a script. How did I know where to stand? People told me where to stand." -- Sir Ian McKellen, Extras | DrDirt

McCain wins the most bitterly divisive election in history and is impeached before the midterm elections for multiple flagrant and egregious violations of McCain-Feingold, leading to a Palin v. Clinton showdown in 2012.

| #17 Posted on 23.9.08 0038.29 | Instant Rating: 3.84 | Another generation of Video Game Consoles is released, movies with no plot and excessive CGI special effects dominate the box offices, television pundits get louder and more obnoxious, and around 10% of the U.S. population can enjoy them due to an economic depression we thought we'd avoid by putting ourselves in a recession. Voter turnout hits an all-time low as most people are too busy trying to find some way to find something to eat, and after the winner of the election enacts his plan to end the struggles by taxing the rich even less, a multinational coalition invades and starts drilling for oil, no matter what we say.

I'm going to (regretably) say that due to some late Bush attacks and dirty tricks, Kerry does not manage to close the deal on terrorism with swing voters, and Bush wins 53 - 46 - 1, with about 320 electoral votes.
However, I'm also calling the Senate 50-49-1 for the Dems (biggest upset - Crazy Jim Bunning gets knocked off in Kentucky), and pick up two house seats to boot. Bush proceeds to have a disaterous second term, lose the House in 2006, and have the Dems COngress make his life miserable for the next two years. This leads to a reformer/outsider/good government McCain type being elected President decisively in 2008. Think a kind of 1972 repeat.
By the way, I've been saying "Bush wins handily, has horrible second term" consitently since "who's going to win in 2004" was a question.
Man's most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.
