A straw poll of the forum partisans, can Obama win reelection? This is not whether you love and worship him, but if you honestly think he has a chance of being elected.
In my humble opinion, unless the GOP finally fields a candidate who can appeal to more than just their "base" of rabid conservatives, Obama WILL be reelected, regardless of how voters feel about his performance to date.
I voted "Yes - easily" because it was the only "Yes" choice. If Obama wins, I doubt it will be easily. I have my doubts that he will win. But he certainly can win.
Of course he CAN win... his win last time shows anyone can... it all depends on spin, circumstances, political climate, etc... Do I think it is probable that it happens if the REPs run someone even halfway reputable with even a base knowledge of economics? Nope... but anything can happen
Anything is possible. I can not imagine if there is not significant economic improvement over the next 15 months. His ability to mobilize the brainless vote is impressive and really makes it anyone's election.
Well Obama better get to work then! Oh, he already started campaigning, he has that bus tour thingy going to talk about you know, why you should vote for him over others..
