Obama 2012 Win a Sure Thing?

Bernard Goldberg thinks Obama has the cool factor in his favor.

Consider these four things that set President Obama apart from his likely Republican challengers: he’s young, he’s cool, he’s black and he’s liberal.

He may have something else on his side: luck.  Sometimes lady luck just beats everything.  It can also turn against you.  I think Hoover had bad luck.  If he had been elected president eight years earlier, he probably would have been remembered as a great president.
