I susepct that there will also be a third party candidate on the right, in an attempt to dilute the GOP vote.

Obama may win re-election with 43% of the vote. Clinton did.

And the media will praise him and say that everyone loves him and that the victory is a landslide with a mandate.

So, so true. And then, remember in 2004 when Kerry was leading Bush in the polls in the late summer, media dorks like Tim Tussert was saying that turnout could be huge and if turnout was very large Kerry would win? And thus, if Kerry won with a large turnout in would be a mandate? And then of course, there was a large turnout, Bush won 52% of the vote...and the media failed to focus on the large turnout, failed to call it a mandate...and instead focused on a “controversial” vote count in Ohio!

Got to love it.

I don’t think so...this is what the dems would like to happen...the right has smartened up...and will not be egged into any such thing...not to the degree the dems must have to keep the WH....what worked for them before will not work for them again.......

I suspect that there will not only be a 3rd party conservative running for President, I also suspect that there will be a slate of House and Senate candidates running on his or her ticket with them, in swing races.
