The 20 - 25% that really hate Obama would never vote democrat anyway (unless George Wallace rises from the dead.) courting them is misused energy for either party. the strategy of painting Barry as Inept is the strongest one but I am afraid the Republicans are married to the socialist-Muslim-Atheist-radical meme that really has no resonance outside of their echo chamber.

With this said I think Mitt is a good guy and would make a passable president. it just ain't going to happen.

I don't disagree. I think it's Obama's to lose. mk is right that it has a whole lot to do with how the economy is doing come election time. Remember how much that helped Obama get elected? When the shit hit the fan and McCain/Palin looked flustered, Obama stayed cool. The shift from national security to the economy didn't play in to McCains game plan. This really helped Obama. I wonder what, if any, last minute national crisis will occur this time? Whose hands will it play in to?
