Obama loses the Democratic nomination; black turnout is discouraged. Hillary gets the nod.
In the general, McCain/Palin winds with less than 300 EV. The GOP gains 10 seats in the House, but not a majority.
McCain successfully pushes a home loan guarantee program, which improves the housing market, eventually. The economy begins to slightly improve in late 2010, but only after 11% unemployment rate. D's gain 40 seats.
As was expected, McCain does not run for reelection. While the unemployment rate does drop to 8.5%, Palin is defeated by Obama by more than 400 EV.
