The new Obama campaign web advertisement is longer than the others — because it lists the President’s accomplishments during his first term, and that takes a while.

Obama will win approximately 60-65% of the electoral votes in November.

It's a long time between now and Election Day and a lot can happen. I'm not comfortable predicting a definitive win for President Obama because of it.
That said, the GOP are currently making the same mistake the Dems made in 2004 -- running an out of touch rich patrician Masshole that no one really likes on an agenda of anger and obstruction of the President's agenda. They're going to have to do better in order to win, unless the shit somehow hits the fan between now and November.

If a President is reelected, I consider that to essentially be a mandate. But the result of the bloodletting, fratricide, and cannibalism in the GOP primaries will be a much easier win for Obama than it would otherwise be.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot that he tried calling Obama an elitist for going to Harvard even though Mitt himself spent more time there. That's a lame attack. If Obama attacked Mitt for that, I'd feel the same way. Nothing wrong with Harvard. If one of my family members got accepted there, I'd be proud.

At the WHCD, Pres Obama reminded people that while he only had one degree from Harvard, Romney has 2 - then called him a snob.

It won't matter. If Republicans get more than 2% they call it a mandate. Democrats can't have a mandate even when the margin is four times that.
2008 margin: 7.2% Obama
2004 margin: 2.4% GW Bush
2000 margin: -0.5% (GS Bush won on electoral votes)
1996 margin: 8.5% Clinton
1992 margin: 5.5% Clinton
1988 margin: 7.7% GHW Bush
1984 margin: 18.2% Reagan
1980 margin: 9.7% Reagan

NC will depend on the black vote turnout. Agree about Indiana. The fact that Obama won it all last time was impressive in its own. I think Obama will win here in Virginia by the same margin he did last time. Romney may have won the primary here but getting 60% of the vote when your only ballot opponent is Luap Nor. Well that says a bit.

If he is re-elected it will be interesting to see if there's an anti-Democratic backlash in the mid-terms, like in 2010, or if the GOP manages to shoot themselves in the foot, a la the Clinton impeachment, and give the Dems a mid-term win.
