re: #99 Fozzie Bear

I think the general geist here regarding Obama’s chances in 2012 is excessively optimistic. His performance in 2008 was a one-off. He can’t be the hope-bearing outsider again, and he can’t be the first black president again. He doesn’t have the enthusiasm of the youth vote any more, and the left is more than a little pissed.

Right now, I see Obama’s victory in 2012, even against nutbags like Palin or Newt, as very much in doubt.

Please, against Palin or Newt he’s got it locked up tight as can be.

Those guys don’t even have the veneer of nobility John McCain had, they’re nothing but rage religion and tax cuts…
