How the 2012 Presidential election will play out...

[BolivarianHero]

2010:

GOP makes some slight gains in the House and Senate offset by easy Democratic gubernatorial pick-ups in Vermont, Rhode Island, and Minnesota. Sarah Palin is featured heavily in important GOP races. GOP pundits proclaim decisive victory and that the Obama presidency has been discredited. In Alabama, Bob Riley is term limited, and former chief justice of the state supreme court Roy Moore is able to win a plurality in the open GOP gubernatorial primary. In something of an upset, Moore narrowly defeats his Democratic opponent.

2012:

Conservatives see the routine results of 2009 and 2010 as a decisive victory for their wing of the GOP, and are successfully able to get Sarah Palin nominated for the Presidential ticket. As every competent GOP adviser backed Romney in the primary and every marginally-competent GOP adviser alienated her in 2008, she surrounded herself with religious lunatics and various hard-right sycophants. Following their moranic advice, she picks Alabama governor Roy Moore to be her running mate. Expectedly, they run an embarrassing campaigned characterized by gaffes and by right-wing lunacy. Obama-Biden run a low-key campaign and coast to a landslide that puts Roosevelt to shame. Limbaugh dies of a heart attack, as the clogged arteries coupled with the shock of the results are too much for his system to take, and Beck dies of a broken heart. Palin is discredited, her family life finally falls apart, and she retires lonely and bitter. Moore retires from politics and continues heading right-wing fringe movements that only religious wackos and kooky militia groups give a fuck about.
