Your Guess Is As Good As Mine

This opinion piece by Charles Madigan in the Chicago Tribune cautions us to not assume that the November elections will be a disaster for the Democrats and a huge success for the Republicans.   He rightfully points out that the only voters who count are the ones who actually show up to vote, and it's not so clear who they might be in November.   I think his conclusion is on point:
Because of all of this, I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that whatever happens, it won't be good.
By the end of the year, I suspect reasonable people will be chased into hiding by grizzly moms from the distant north.
The Democrats will be in a desert someplace, navel gazing.
And President Obama will be sitting in the White House thoughtfully wondering why he couldn't have actually been born in Kenya, because at least in Kenya, he is loved.
 Let's hope we don't end up with the House of Representatives run by John Boehner ("...the brownest white man in all of Ohio thanks to the miracle of tanning...), but beyond that, I'm not guessing.
