Sounds to me like Obama has all the advantages, but this is no usual situation. The man has been a failure in every aspect. The last election was close... the danger is the GOP will run a candidate who reflects the worst policies of Obama, especially in the Mid East. Also... this time around it will be a safe bet that Obama will have to show his birth certificate. McCain was a gentleman, but a few candidates will come forward who will point out the hypocrisy of a sitting President who is afraid to show his birth certificate. I'm also betting on a few other surprises. It has always been suspect to me what Obama did in Pakistan after he dropped out of college. I do believe there was a war going on in Afghanistan at the time. It was always curious how Obama suddenly had money to pay for the Ivy League from the Saudis after being a drugged out dropout that left the country.
