I could not print the entire article, and had to focus on its main premise: Obama's political skills are vastly overrated, he has never won a general election campaign that was not handed to him with a bowtie, and he is almost surely toast.

Did God give you and all the journalists some special pair of eyes that lets you see things happen thirteen months ahead?

No, it's called every single economist on the planet NOT predicting the economy to miraculously produce 500,000 jobs a month every month next year. There is not a single economist who is predicting unemployment to drop dramatically over the next thirteen months. The median forecast is the most probable outcome, and it ultimately amounts to a forecast of continued malaise.

And?  That only moves the race to a toss-up, especially if Romney loses the nomination, which is more likely than you think.  This "300-450 EVs" crap is just wishful thinking, on your part.  You don't know what the hell is going to happen.

The fact that some Republicans think 2012 is going to them on a silver platter doesn't help them, in the long run.  They think they can nominate virtually anyone, and the White House will be theirs.  Why else would we have jokes like Santorum and Bachmann and Cain and the like up there?  The 2012 race is not something that either party should be making early projections about.  Multiple factors make the outcome.

And?  That only moves the race to a toss-up, especially if Romney loses the nomination, which is more likely than you think.  This "300-450 EVs" crap is just wishful thinking, on your part.  You don't know what the hell is going to happen.

The fact that some Republicans think 2012 is going to them on a silver platter doesn't help them, in the long run.  They think they can nominate virtually anyone, and the White House will be theirs.  Why else would we have jokes like Santorum and Bachmann and Cain and the like up there?  The 2012 race is not something that either party should be making early projections about.  Multiple factors make the outcome.

As James Carville once put it, "it's the economy..." And that's certainly the case now more than in 1992. There is just no way this race is a toss-up with unemployment at 9%. The only way it could move into that category would be by removing the incumbent, and even then you have to favor the non-incumbent party for the same reasons Obama/Biden had the edge in 2008.

Incumbents in the modern era just do not win re-election when the unemployment rate is about 50% higher than the rate people consider to be "good" (i.e., about 4-5% nationally). Throw in an incumbent who has NEVER won a general election campaign he had to fight for, and how in the world do we come to the conclusion this is going to be a race?

All signs point towards a landslide loss to Romney.

So?  1992 wasn't a cakewalk for the Democrats.  They couldn't just nominate some generic candidate.  Clinton was a strong candidate who was personable and had the ability to speak like all their talking points weren't just rehearsed several times.  The same goes for the Republicans in 1980.  Can you say the same about a robot like Mitt Romney, who would be running in a time where people are becoming increasingly furious with the corporations he fights all his life for?  Certainly not.  And in case you haven't noticed, both parties are strongly disliked by Americans, at the moment.  People are actually going to have to like Mitt Romney if they're going to vote for him, but not even the Republican base is pleased with the field.

All polls (currently) point towards a toss-up.  If Romney is even nominated.

God, and I thought the Paultards were annoying...

What is the point of this thread? Sounds like some overconfident, yet shaky dream.

The point of it is to troll.

Absolutely not. The point is to show how powerful denial is. But you do not understand that, of course. Not yet, anyway.

Yes, yes, we all know how much you want our economy to fail so you can get your corporation-loving boyfriend elected to the presidency.  We've already seen plenty of that here.
