The election base for the Republicans will be so eroded to the point where regardless of how qualified a Republican running for the Presidency in 08 that candidate will have a disappointing turnout. This will be especially true if the Bush administration does not act in a clear and decisive manner to resolve the illegal immigrant issue.

Voters are a fickle bunch, I know, I am one. ;-)

Timing and intervening events play heavily in election outcome. I've given up any serious playing of the prediction game (and often figure it's rigged anyway), and reserve my support for individual candidates or advocacy groups. E.g., in the last election, I donated to the Swiftees, but not to the RNC.
