8. Dems won't decide this

Of course neither will the GOP. They are a small minority. It's the independents that will decide it. They'll either show up and be the margin of victory, or they'll stay home and hand it to the democrats. If the economy continues to improve, especially if unemployment drops below 8% by June, they'll probably either stay home or vote democratic. If anything reverses the recent gains, they'll probably show up and vote GOP.
