Obama wins because he won't lose any state that Kerry won in 2004 and Ohio and Florida will go to Obama also. Ohio and Florida are controlled by Republicans who are igniting the Democratic base and turning off independents, that is a formula for success and why Obama will get another four years.
Here's the best option of all the other candidates. People trust him on national security and we haven't had armegeddon as was predicted by the GOP. Plus, this is looking more and more likely to be his opponent.
Same way he won in 2008: unwavering support from the media and suppression of anything that detracts from his rock star image.
Obama was losing both in the primary and general prior to the debates. It's interesting how impressions change when you actually hear a candidate express themself and not how his/her opponents characterize them and in Obama's care characature. He's simply the best candidate and I think the right knows that. The right hate Romney and nobody with a nugget of honesty would want Bachman anywhere near the whitehouse.

Agreed. The MSM will do what they did in '08 and attack anyone that opposes The Chosen One. They did more research on Joe the Plumber's past than they did Obama's.
Unless the economy rises like a Phoenix, Obama will be back to community organizing in 2013.
But perhaps I am wrong.
Tell me how. Please be specific.
By the way, I feel that it would take a crop of candidates FAR worse than we have now to find one that would lose to Obama under the above stated conditions.
Most people don't follow politics that closely. After the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF HOURS of political advertisements that will be aired from now until then I think people will vote for any sort of change. (Now where have I heard that word "change" before? )
Hope don't pay the mortgage.
Because most Americans aren't stupid and understand context:
I think it will not be easy for Obama to be re-elected if unemployment stays at 9%. I think it is possible he will be defeated, but I am not willing to bet my life on it. If the economy improves - and there has been some improvement in many sectors - Obama will live in the White House for 4 more years.
People vote their pocketbook. If things seem like the economy is getting better, the "independents" will stick with the incumbent.
In my opinion, there is a hard-core 45% of the voters (die-hard Republicans) that will NEVER vote for him, even if unemployment dropped down to 2% and the US achieves the best economy in it's 235 year history, and by the same token 45% of the voters (die hard Democrats) will vote for him no matter what the unemployment figures or economy does. Elections are really decided by the 10% "swing" vote.
When only 3 in 10 say they will vote for obama....he's in trouble...thank goodness.
