Obamarama

While Obama's ratings are not excellent right now and have not been for many months (even years), his chances for reelection are pretty decent, depending on one factor: how ridiculous his opponent is. The Republican candidate nominees have nearly all made complete fools of themselves in front of the public and are the butts of countless jokes and have been for a while now.

Although Obama is at 43% and many Democrats are dissatisfied (though the majority still approve of his job performance), I sense no danger that voters of his own party will vote against him, given the choices at hand.  Neither Gingrich nor Romney is not ideal "president material," and although polls are close between Obama and Romeny and Obama and Perry, unless the Republican candidates can provide stronger platforms and earn the respect of the moderate voter, I think they stand little chance, even against an unpopular incumbent.
