Predict:

US Presidency: Democrat
UK: Conservative (real tough one to call IMO)

Hope:

US: Undecided. I'd like to see how the Democrats do in power. They'd probably do some good in some areas, but i'm pretty sure they won't take the war on terror seriously enough (like Clinton). 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. If Kerry wins, it might ease up on some middle eastern pressure, but it won't be long before they are burning Kerry effigies. Bush didn't do too badly coping with some tough events (like 9/11), but Americans tend to believe their president should do better than just cope, they have to do well.

UK: Conservative. Again it's pretty close, but most of the Tory policies sounds better (although wether they do any of them is another matter).
