OregonMuse offers some political predictions :
My predictions for 2015:Which just goes to show: If you have no expectations, at least you’ll never be disappointed!Of course, these are my predictions every year, and every year I've batted 1000.

- The GOP leadership will expend more energy and resources fighting conservatives than fighting Democrats.
Wahoo.
