A lot of the predictions here assume that Israel and Iran do not go to war. If Israel and Iran do go to war, I predict a more dire 2012. I believe Israel will go to war in Lebanon against Hezbollah. Assad will assist and fight a proxy war, possibly an Israeli/Syrian confrontation.
Newt Gingrich and his running mate, Gov Susana Martinez (R-NM) will defeat Barrack Obama and Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL20) in the US Presidential election. The big story will be the number of “blue” states that will go GOP including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Before the end of the year, Gingrich will nominate Rick Santorum to be Secretary of State and Gov Sarah Palin to be Secretary of Energy. John Bolton will become Gingrich’s NSA.
The GOP will retain the US House and retake the US Senate. George Allen Jr and Connie Mack will be elected to the US Senate. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI01) will be the new Speaker defeating Rep. Eric Cantor(R-VA07) after Rep. John Boehner (R-OH08) announces he will step aside as Speaker but will retain his seat.
There will be an attempt to replace Biden with Sec of State Clinton, however, it will be disclosed that the US was embarrassedly closer to Libya before the US took military action. It will also come out the Clinton had more of the personal financial interest in the Keystone pipeline. The Democrats will settle with Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL20) to no avail. Colin Powell will refuse to endorse Obama. Ralph Nader and Dennis Kuchenich will run under an independent ticket.
The US SCOTUS will declare the Heathcare Law unconstitutional 6-2. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will stepdown after the 2011-2012 term. The court will also rule that the Stolen Valor Act is unconstitutional.
The US economy will hit a bad spot, unexpectedly of course, in the second quarter. Little if any economic growth; little if any employment growth. The stockmarket will flirt with 9900 in May, but will rebound to about 10600 by August. The Euro will be worth $1.07 by September, the Deutschmark will make a comeback in 2013. Sears will declare bankruptcy in 2012.
HRH Queen Elizabeth II will announce she will be stepping down at the end of 2012 or 2013. HRH Prince Charles will accept the throne. The Tory-LDP coalition will collapse by the end of 2012, Nick Clegg will step aside. Snap elections will be called, but Cameron will survive.
There will be a terror scare at the Summer games in London.
Nicolas Sarkozy will defeat François Hollande in the summer of 2012. Putin will become the next President of Russia in 2012 despite popular unrest.
Israel will go to war with Hezbollah. India and Pakistan will be on the brink after border skirmishes.

The Packers will start to mount an impressive game winning drive only to fumble on the Dallas 48 on an errant snap. During the next series, Romo will hit Murray with short pass. Murray will scamper 48 yards for the winning score.
