I am smoking the cigar of truth!
There is no chance that Obama will lose in 2012, no viable candidates on our side...Sarah and Michelle are damaged goods to most of the voting public and the others are nobodies, the majority of voters will stay with Obama(at least they know what to expect from him) rather than take a chance on someone else and new for POTUS.
Not with this economy.
I’m afraid you are right, but you didn’t mention the total lack of political knowledge of most Americans.
