It's not a sure thing by any means. When you add up the black vote, the hard left, those who are dependent on gov't programs and those who work for the gov't., you are at 40% or so of the electorate. He would then only need 10 to 20% of the remainder to be reelcted. Since there are many moderates who are very "squishy", and the press will support Obama 100%, this is quite possible.(GULP!)

Hmmm, you do make a good point. I guess it also depends on who runs in the Dem primaries.
As incumbent can Obama lose the Democratic primaries?

I don't think Obama can lose in the primary. This would require a political earthquake of incredible magnatude. Possibly, he could be challlanged, in a significant way, which might weaken him, but this is not likely, IMO.

the press will support Obama 100%
