In order for that to be true, Obama would both need to fail massively, and the Republicans would need to nominate a respectable candidate. Even if Obama does poorly, if the Republicans nominate Palin, Jindal, or Huckabee, Obama would be reelected, barring third party challengers on the left.

What about Romney?

Romney is one candidate who would have a very good shot, especially if he nudges back towards his time in Massachusetts while still stressing his economic expertise. He is the only Republican I am currently concerned about.

I only question whether Crist or Hagel could win the Republican Primaries. Also, I don't really think Hagel will run in the first place.

I wonder what would happen if Ron Paul runs in the Republican primaries and then runs as a Libertarian. Any ideas how a map would look in this scenario?

Not much would change, though Obama would win by an even larger margin. btw, how many of these type of questions have been posted on here lately?
