1) "Bail out" on Iraq and make it palatable. How about we dust off the "Peace with honor bit (Nixon).... it might play.
2) Taxes guaranteed to go up. Let "tax breaks" lapse at the very least.
3) A new flurry of "social" programs to help; Minorities, Women, "the poor", children.... (Pick your favorite charity here) :wink:
4) If taxes go up, in addition to the tax break lapse, be watchful for additional tax breaks for certain entities to whom campaign promises were made.
5) It is highly likely that another assault will be made on gun owners' rights.
6) Education will get more tons of money to further the fires of futility.
7) She will do everything possible to get Socialized Medicine through Congress. (It looks "warm and fuzzy" on the outside... but once you are in, you are buried!)
There are more, but I'm getting tired. Night all.

I wouldn't mind talking about some of the proposals you've put here, HB.
1, I certainly hope so; witness the alternative.
2, Taxes are guaranteed to go up no matter who the next president is. Our current financial situation is unsupportable. It doesn't take an economist to see that running 1/2 trillion dollar deficits every year will sink our country sooner rather then later.
3, You're probably correct; naturally, some people will actually be helped by these programs.
4, Don't know who you are talking about in particular.
5, I certainly hope so, though I wouldn't use the semi-hysterical language to describe it.
6, Getting rid of NCLB will go a long way to solving that problem.
7, Maybe you haven't visited the health care thread, but people in Canada and Europe seem to be doing okay with their systems. And we aren't doing too well with ours. The sensible thing to do is to figure out a better way; so I hope that this happens too.
