CORRECT Republicans will gain control of the house of representatives, BUT BY ONLY 7 SEATS. 2. BARELY, BY ONLY 2 SEATS, Democrats will hold on to the Senate. 3. YES, Rick Perry will be reelected Governor, AND ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012. 4. WRONG, SHE WILL GET 22%, HUTCHISON 25%, PERRY 52% Debra Medina will get over 15% of the vote. 5. PROBABLY SO, THOUGH NELSON WILL NOT BUY HH. Old fashioned publishers will start to get gobbled by trendier conglomerates. And for an extra point I am predicting that Thomas Nelson will by Harvest House. 6. YES, YOU WILL PROBABLY BUY 1. The Apple Tablet will actually ship. It will be amazing and I will buy one :-) 7. HUH? WHAT'S THAT? The Google Andriod platform will gain 20% market share. 8. I DON'T THINK SO. The big product for 2010 will be the Kindle and the price will drop to $99 and sales of digital books will soar to over 70% of Amazon’s book sales. 9. HUH? WHAT'S THAT? Google Chrome will gain 25% market shake but the mac version will still be in Beta. 10. GREAT IDEA, BUT NOT LIKELY. The Tea party will start to emerge as an actual party but will not put any candidates on the 2010 ballot. Look for tea party candidates in 2012. HERE ARE MY RESPONSES TO YOUR PREDICTIONS IN CAPITALS:

I'd have phrased that differently. Things could've been much worse. I think your assessment of Obama is too harsh: hasn't gotten ANYTHING done? I'd have phrased that differently.
