Articles: Republican Delusion is Obama's All-Too-Secret Weapon

Comment:  This article plays up the role of the media, and maybe they have a point.  It looks as if the media actually got Obama elected, and it may well get him reelected.  But is the media invincible?  Why do people even listen to the media anymore, anyway?  I don't.  Polls have shown that the public thinks the media is biased, but why do they listen anyway?  It would seem that the current economic situation cannot be blamed entirely on the previous administration.  After all, Obama does have a record to run on.  No, I think that if a competent campaign is conducted, Obama can be beaten by any of the Republican candidates regardless of what the media says.  It is hard for me to believe that people will knowingly choose someone who is a failure at what he does.  Yet, I wouldn't count that possibility out either.  After all, this guy got elected without anything but the media recommending him.

Update:

I would agree that Romney appears to be the most electable.  But McCain was "electable" too.  He ran a weak campaign.  It won't matter so much who wins, but how the winner runs the general election.   If anyone could have been run out of a race, it was Obama.  If anyone who could have beaten, it was him.  You can't win if you won't at least try to win.

I would look for someone who has the "want to" about him/her.  Whoever has the "want to" factor will have the best chance.
