4. Mitt will win it (nomination), but he'll limp bloody and shredded over the finish line

Oh, they'll have a big celebration and everything, but hardly anyone outside Mitt's circle will truly be celebrating.

And when it comes to the election, there is going to be a massive inertia for republicans to overcome to get out the vote - Mitt doesn't connect with people; he's a flip-flopper; he's not conservative enough, and the huge problem is he's a Mormon, and the religious nutcases of the GOP (i.e. their base) have spent too many years - from the top religious media pundits like Falwell, etc. to the pastors of the smallest backwater churches in the south - calling Mormonism a cult (it is). They're all going to try and ignore the past, do a 180, and jump on the Mitt bandwagon with various degrees of enthusiasm since it's not Mitt they want elected but Obama defeated, but it will be hard to get their flocks geared up to vote for him.
