The 2012 Presidential Election Will Be Won or Lost in the Middle

American Thinker

excerpts:
  • "swing voters asserted their independence" by "repudiating Republican ideological overreach in key votes but denying Democrats clear-cut victories heading into 2012." 
  •  Stated simply, at long last, voters are engaged in the debate
  • voters are in no mood for politics as usual
  • In September, President Obama said, "I just have to remind people that here's one thing I know for certain: the odds of me being reelected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place."
Comment:

That last quote was pretty cocky by Obama.  Frankly, he seemed lucky because of a perfect storm swept the Republicans away right at about the time people started paying attention.  What are the odds that he will be able to engineer something like this to his advantage?

No reason to be too sure that he can't do something like this, so the point is well taken, though.
