After the results from Iowa, I'm feeling that (believe it or not) Ron Paul is the most likely GOP nominee. Romney will be the next to flame out, though it may not happen for another few weeks. Gingrich falls (farther) after Romney, leaving Ron Paul and Santorum in kind of a horse race for a while. (Santorum may actually be on top of the polls for a bit in early March.)
I know this is a very tough thing to picture, but I get that Paul/Romney is how the GOP ticket may shake out.
Other thoughts: I feel, very strongly, that certain folks are trying for a Romney ticket no matter what. If Ron Paul (or anyone else) gets in the way of that, his life could be at risk.
After meditating on dates between 2012 and 2032, these are the things which came through to me as significant:
2020--GOP: DOA. This is the point past which I feel Big Money, especially soft money campaign contributions, will be utterly railroaded out of the political system.
2028--first time a third party candidate has a real shot at the presidency. First female U.S. president. Fourth African American Senator is elected.
After 2032...DNC: DOA. So for those predicting its impending doom--my intuition thinks it still has a couple of decades. The second non-white president is elected.
Also, I'm predicting a huge political surprise this month. January and February could wind up being pretty rocky.
