My guess is the people will win round one: That is, Mubarak will go soon. He will be followed by his VP sooner or later. After that, I think it is anyone's guess what sort of new government will emerge in the end.
My hunch is the sooner the people "go home", the less likely they are to get a representative government. If they can keep with it until more or less everyone involved agrees to a representative government, then the people have a fighting chance. But at times like this, there are always forces in every country who try to seize the revolution to their own -- and not the people's -- ends.
That, at least, is how I see it.
