(1,033 posts)then yes. He'd probably win in a landslide if there's a booming economy.

(1,846 posts)That guy has had a tough 4 years and it is NOT getting any easier.
Theoretically, whether or not he could win depends on what we see over the next couple years.
If he solves the fiscal issues in a sane and balanced way, gets the Dream Act passed, successfully finishes ACA, gets out of Afghanistan, economy recovers, fer sure...we are still pretty screwed up as a country.

(9,999 posts)with the rest of his life? Hard to imagine him not using all his talents in a position of power but where do you go after the Presidency? I know one thing - he will be one hell of an asset to the next Democratic candidate. I think even surpassing Bill Clinton in bringing on the "Love" for the Democrats in future campaigns. Too bad the Republican's only hero - Ronnie Raygun - is dead. And then there is that whole unfortunate W debacle.

And I don't think she wants it. She is tired.

(645 posts)provided Obama is like in the mid 50s to low 60s in approval, as long as we nominate someone who doesn't suck at politics and campaigning we stand a good chance of holding the White House, simply due to us having a basic structural advantage in the electorial college.
