Expect the conflict between Mubarak supporters and the protesters to continue.
Interviews with the well-to-do show that most of them support the Mubarek regime.
Suleiman and Mubarak will continue to resist, hoping that the protests will lose momentum. There may be a few talks with various groups, but none will reach agreement.
In the September elections, some temporary appointments to reform leaders (but not to el Baradei, who has no party).

I am not optimistic about real change.
