As the fall has turned crisper, a second term for Barack Obama has gotten likelier. This may, of course, change: the debates, the Middle East, the unemployment numbers could still blow up the race. At this point in 2004, one recalls, George W. Bush was about to see a near eight-point lead shrivel to a one-state nail-biter by Election Day. But one thing that has so far, in my view, been underestimated is the potential impact of a solid Obama win, and perhaps a Democratic retention of the Senate and some progress in the House. This is now a perfectly plausible outcome. It would also be a transformational moment in modern American politics.
If Obama wins, to put it bluntly, he will become the Democrats’ Reagan. The narrative writes itself. He will emerge as an iconic figure who struggled through a recession and a terrorized world, reshaping the economy within it, passing universal health care, strafing the ranks of al -Qaeda, presiding over a civil-rights revolution, and then enjoying the fruits of the recovery.

Obama could indeed be re-elected.
Buy your ammo now.
You can’t parody a person who parodies themselves
Maybe “Reaganite” Obama can get Sandra Day O’Connor to endorse him.
THE HIDE THE DECLINE PARTY is HIDING THE DECLINE. The frauds on the left are skewering THE FOREIGNERS poll numbers so the MORONS financing his run don’t stop contributing. The reality is THE FOREIGNER is heading for a spanking in 2012 with Romney winning in a landslide and the senate being retaken as well.

He’s not Reagan - but he might be their George W. Bush.
What I mean by that is that, just as John F’in Kerry’s partisans COULD NOT BELIEVE that Bush could be re-elected because they missed that a lot of people kinda sorta liked him, so we CANNOT BELIEVE it possible that Zero could be re-elected, and again because people, wrong though they are, kinda sorta like him.
Now, it’s tragic that this is what the experiment in representative republicanism has come to - how good you do on The View and Letterman - but that may very well be where we are.

Exactly. If this guy gets a second term, it will be a disaster. Barry won't be able to blame Bush for all of his failures anymore.
America will become a Socialist nation....we will lose what little freedoms we have left. If Obama loses, America will still have a battle for Freedom on her hands, we always have and we always will because so many aren't capable of or wanting to do for themselves.
No, no -- it's the oceans that are healing. The planet is receding.
In 1200 years, the ice returns, and this is all academic.
No, no -- Reggie's a top. He gets irritated when you get them backwards.
Or when Moochelle makes Reggie a bottom.
