Bush wins.
Kerry MIGHT win the popular vote, but by a slimmer margin than Gore did in '00. I'm guessing that no matter which side wins, the other side will suspect election problems like we had in '00 - - -after all, Florida STILL hasn't fixed their election system and now 30+ states are running paperless balloting systems which makes it far too easy for someone from either side to rig the machines - not saying either side will actually do it, but the suspicions will naturally be there. That's why I'm also predicting a long post-election "who the hell really won?" process.
I'm also predicting that, like the Nixon presidency, things will get much worse in the 2nd term, to the point where we have viet-nam levels of protestors in the streets and the worst period our nation has (er. . .will have) experienced since the viet-nam / watergate era.
