Finland, Germany and the Netherlands leave the Eurozone of their own free will, sending France, Spain, and Italy into devaluation of their common currency. Greece is - at that point - no longer a problem, because it can just enjoy the benefits of devaluation too.

Romney, at best, comes in third in Iowa

The election will be closer than 2008 but Obama will win (239 vs. 299 electoral votes)
Republicans gain 3 in the Senate (win MO, MT, NE, ND; lose MA) but Dems maintain control by winning the presidency/VP.
Republicans lose seats in the House but maintain a majority.
