[Verginius Rufus]

Obama's biggest problem is the economy/high unemployment. His strategy is to blame Bush for the economy and to blame the Republicans in Congress for "obstructionism" for not passing Stimulus II, which supposedly would generate jobs. Whether he can persuade the public, even with the support of the media, remains to be seen.

The unions won in Ohio by massively outspending the opposition. Will Obama have the same disparity in campaign funds next year (5 to 1)?

“Will Obama have the same disparity in campaign funds next year (5 to 1)?”

yes! He will. Actually, he already has in excess on $1bn. the stimulus money went to cities (read that as union) which in turn funneled the money to obama.
