Despite his problems, there are still ways Obama can win. His greatest hope, as always in politics, is that the other side will screw up. Maybe the newly empowered House Republicans will do a terrible job, or the GOP will nominate an awful presidential candidate. But that just underscores a stark reality. At this point, it will be hard for Obama to save himself. He'll need a lot of help to win a second term in the White House.Byron York on Obama's re-election changes.
Two years is like a lifetime in poltics. Anything that can happen. If the economy improves much of the negativity that is surrounding the Obama administration will disappear. The person that gets the nomination will make all the difference. Conservatives need to stay focused and realize that thoroughly vetting the potential candidates is necessary and needs to be done based on fact and not emotion. I am happy to see that some in the tea party have already realized this.

If anyone can screw things up royally, it's the GOP. If we have learned anything, it's that Republicans are too stupid to be nefarious.
I don't know who can unify conservatives and moderates in the GOP primaries. I don't think any of the folks recycled from 2008 can do that. More importantly, I think that most of the people who have the potential to provide the leadership this country really needs won't be ready until 2016 or later.
I Hope I'm wrong.
The conclusion that I have come to is this. We need to concentrate on keeping the house in line with fiscal matters over the next two years. Get better candidates for the next cycle in the house and senate.
To me the president will serve one purpose and one purpose only; signing the repeal of Obamacare. It took the dems many cycles to get the progressive love fest into place, it is going to be the same with getting the government back to constitutional government. It won't happen in the next cycle either. We just need to get senate with strong fiscal conservatives and a body in the white house that knows how to use a pen. As long as it is not Obama, I will be happy.
we had better unify or we are all goners!
