All other things being equal...
Sen. Clinton beats Huckabee by 22% of the popular vote and 15% of the electoral vote. Senate goes back to GOP control by a one to two vote margin, while the Democrats increase control in the House by picking up a net total of seven additional seats.
Consumer confidence is restored to the pre-Bush era following Sen. Clinton's win allowing what's about to become a recession to rebound to higher than expected GDP by the end of '08.
U.S. troops are removed (for the most part) from Iraq, replaced by a multi-national U.N. Peacekeeping force financed by the U.S. (we broke it, we pay for it and all that).
Immigration of brown-skinned people (and only brown-skinned people) becomes the GOP's last remaining hope of continuing the divisiveness of the American people (suckering in even a few progressives), and gets put under even more scrutiny as the year passes. But nothing happens, of course-- why would they want to lose the last talking-point they have?
Talk radio finally gets exposed for the waste of time it really is and it's adherents pick up a book for once (o-k... that was less a prognostication and more a wish on my part...)
