3. No, the President will not be on the ballot until 2012.
The President is elected for a 4-year term, and the last election was in 2008. Even if the President resigns or is otherwise removed from office, there will be no presidential election until 2012.

:Correct answer.
4. I think the House will have 220 Republicans and 215 Democrats after the election. The Senate will have 52 Democrats and 48 Republicans. I arrived at this prediction by doing some research into current state-by-state polling and counting up the current leaders in each race. It was interesting to discover in the process that in many polls voters do in fact cite the economy and government spending as some of the key factors involved in their decision making.

5. I think the biggest change would happen if the Democrats in Congress formally denounce Obama and his policies (as many are already doing behind the scenes) - that would likely greatly boost their chances of staying in office.

:Possibly, but it is tough for a politician to distance himself from his own party leadership. Republicans were not able to distance themselves from [[George W. Bush]] in 2008, and your answer might have addressed that difficulty. Extra credit: 4/5
:Score: 40/40 on regular part, plus 4 extra credit points, for a superb score of 44. Terrific start!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 09:57, 6 September 2010 (EDT)
