I was talking to somebody about this earlier. They say that if Bush wins the economy will collapse so spectacularly that there's a good chance he would resign in disgrace before finishing his term. Even if he doesn't, the Republicans will likely be utterly demolished in the next election after that.
In other words, Bush winning would really be a blessing in disguise.
It will be kind of like 1929.
Also if he wins, the Democrats would likely reform under populist causes.
I wouldn't guarantee these things will happen. Well, I know the economy will collapse, but other than that, I can't guarantee those things. But it is entirely conceivable. Much weirder things have happened in recent years, like the Clinton impeachment and the 2000 election fiasco.
Well this wasn't totally inaccurate even if Bush didn't resign...
