[Lincoln Republican]

I cannot find a transcript but there is a video from Canadian network CTV in an interview with Dan Rather, who is hardly a Republican booster.

Parahprasing

Obama has to be regarded as the underdog at this point.  As I look at what's happening Obama is going to have a very tough time getting re-elected.  I'm not saying he won't get re-elected but it will be tough.

It is a mistake to underestimate the Republicans and Mitt Romney.  Governor Romney can be and may be a strong candidate. 

Most people vote their pocket books, and the economy being what it is this will be a tough issue for Obama.

I'm simply passing on the views of one of the most experienced, insightful, and knowledgeable (the Bush debacle notwithstanding) journalists in the history of journalism.

You can think what you like of his statements.

Like I say, Rather is hardly a Republican booster.

Like I say

No need to repeat yourself. We're not listening anyway.

Yet you continue to regale us with your gelastic wit.
