Plucky Political Predictions
Barack Obama won't reveal a secret plan to turn the country into a Marxist state. He won't organize gangs of "civilian national security force" goons to beat up anybody who criticizes him. He won't even appoint Jesse Jackson as Secretary of State. He won't do any of the scary things I've heard right-wing radio talk show hosts claim he will do.
Sarah Palin will co-author, with a ghost writer, two books, which will sell well on conservative web sites and in bible book stores.
The Proposition 1A high-speed rail project will not be completed by 2030, as promised. There will be at least two more ballot initiatives asking for more funds.
Same-sex couples will eventually win the right to marry in California. Sometime in the next two-hundred years, we will elect the first gay President. Well, openly gay President -- James Buchanan will always be the first gay President.

I hope the first gay president is a very butch lady. Then we can have a succesful female role model who doesn't wear high heels!
I have to say, I've not heard of Proposition 1A, but after looking it up I like it!! (Full disclosure: I only got the general gist; I haven't the entire prop.)
Sadly though, I agree with your prediction. This just isn't a country that has a good history of rail travel. Personally, I adore it, but only after traveling Europe and Russia. Before that, I don't think I'd ever been on a train.
I'm totally raising my future kids using rail travel.
