Didn't I say that? My predictions will be simpler,
Obama will win (although it will be close). Joe Biden stays as VP. The Democratic Party retains the senate, and gains 3 seats. Because of the new session Harry Reid changes the rules to let simple majorities override filibusters. Republican Party vows revenge and gets even weirder than before. The House is split between the Democratic and Republican parties. The 5 independents Rick Santorum gets a job as a commentator on Fox News. Romney is a desperation move uses the black arts to resurrect Ronald Reagan and names him the VP candidate. The move flops as the republican base think Zombie Reagan is too moderate. After the most bruising presidential election in memory, Mitt Romney goes back to private industry, and opens a chain of rejuvenation salons. Newt Gingrich is sent to the moon.
