Not much will change my vote, mainly because of cap and trade and immigration, but the Republicans shouldn't get too confident. Things can change.
Things can change a lot in 2 years. Imagine this:
(1) Economy rebounds and unemployment goes under 5%
(2) Iran signs a deal and becomes nuke free
(3) The electric car takes off and oil prices decrease
(4) I and P sign a peace agreement and peace is achieved
(5) Troops pull out of Iraq (he will get credit and applause)
(6) OBL is captured
(7) No amnesty bill is signed or presented
(8) There is hope in afghanistan
(9) No bad effects of the healthcare bill are seen (yet!)!
(10) The deficit goes down (that would take a lot)
Imagine if all these things are even a few combined with #1 (heck even #1) happens, then Obama is assured a victory!
Sure would be great if all that happened.....
The best hope for Obama is that Republicans and as many Independents as reasonable take over the House and Senate. Republican influence did wonders for Clinton until she blew it.
The dream..the government will have an epiphany and get the message that they work for us and not for their re-elections. The people will respond with confidence and we will be back on track.
For Obama to be re-elected he'll have to be sold on the American people first program. Divided government (in my opinion) works out better for the American people. It just might be possible provided Republicans or Independents don't come up with a truly viable alternative.
