I'm thinking "protest votes"

1. Yup and the Libnertarian PArty should be drooling over Obama's numbers rising
because it could make them eligible for federal matching funds in 2012.

2. And as it becomes clear McCain won't win, the GOP turnout might be even less
which will be great for the Democratic races for the Senate and House. A close horserace will get their blood up, but if the outcome looks like a fait accompli, the Republican turnout will diminish even more.

3. I think the McSame bailout vote might accomplish this
I think some Republicans who had misgivings about McSame from the start can't get behind this.

4. Yes
Expect a battle of the twits in 2012 between Romney and the Huckster.
