kpo - the economy will pick up in 2013 (regardless of the results of the 2012 election)
Auraptor - Obamacare's effects will be 'the exact opposite' to its stated goals, ie. lower costs, better quality, better access for people with pre-existing conditions.
Niki - "I have no doubt that, if it gets completely implemented, you'll get the same "Don't Touch My ACA" that you currently get "Don't Touch My Medicare""

Signy thinks climate shift is occurring, and this combined with population increase will lead to higher and higher food prices.
Paul Krugman thinks that Romney's in trouble ahead of November - "This could be famous last words, but it looks to me as if Romney is in the process of getting defined — and his party won’t like the results."

Hero's prediction for the debates:
Obama: "Outsourcing, blah blah, Bain Capital. Business...bad, Govt Good."
Romney: "There you go again Barry, you keep bringing up things from over a decade ago you know I had nothing to do with...but lets talk about your record, unemployment far higher and for far longer then you could imagine when you passed your economic program. Millions of jobs gone or reduced or sent overseas, billions of dollars wasted on speculative so-called green energy companies that happened to be big contributors and who you supported but ultimately failed or to support factories and jobs in China and Europe. You can't hide your failure to lead by attacking my successful record in business. Maybe if you had a little more real world experiance [sic] in business instead of your classroom theories and poll tested political slogans you would not have to nitpick my record from over a decade ago to distract the American people from what you've been doing for the last four years."

CaveTroll thinks Obama's struggling ahead of November:
CaveTroll - "Nobody who voted for McCain in '08 will vote for Obama this time. Since '08 Obama has seemingly gone out of his way to alienate all the demographics that voted for him. It will take a lot more than spin and weak allegations to get him back into office in November."

Geezer is betting that if Romney releases copies of his returns and they show nothing incorrect, 'the Bainers' will accuse him of having altered them; and there will be a back and forth about whether or not they're fake until the election.
6ixStringJack - "Obama will never get more than 4 years."

Geezer thinks that if Assad's regime falls in Syria, there may be some interesting revelations about what happened to Sadaam's WMD. Auraptor agrees.

Brett Stephens (Wall Street Journal) - Mitt Romney has a good chance to peel off a significant portion of the Jewish vote (disillusioned with Obama's policies) in November - enough to make a crucial difference in some states like Florida.
Storymark has 'zero doubt' that there is something in the Romney tax returns that his team is afraid of, and which is preventing him from releasing them.

This one actually pre-dates the thread itself, for them that remember.
Hutaree Militia.
Primary charges dropped, case all but thrown out, most members released some time ago, remaining charges commuted to time served, end of story - feds wasted a lot of time and resources on what amounted to something between entrapment and false flag.

Called it, top to bottom, from the very start.
