Romney, at best, comes in third in Iowa
Romney has a "comeback" and wins in NH.
Romney wins the GOP nomination
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.
