I don't think Obama's assuming anything ...but the line-up of his potential opponents is pretty pathetic. Here's a quote from TIME's Joe Klein: "This is my 10th presidential campaign, Lord help me. I have never before seen such a bunch of vile, desperate-to-please, shameless, embarrassing losers coagulated under a single party's banner. "They are the most compelling argument I've seen against American exceptionalism... "There are those who say, cynically, if this is the dim-witted freak show the Republicans want to present in 2012, so be it. I disagree. One of them could get elected. You never know." -- Joe Klein, TIME: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2011/03/29/american-embarrassment/ AND, while it's way too soon to make any solid predictions,,, - Obama Surges To Lead Against Generic Republican - -- Beset by debt ceiling woes, President Obama has been trailing behind a hypothetical "generic Republican" in recent polls. But no longer! The latest from Gallup has him moving into a solid lead. According to the monthly survey, which was conducted from August 4 -7, Obama would win 45-39 against "the Republican party's candidate." The previous two polls from Gallup had the generic GOPer running strong with a 47-39 lead in July and 44-39 lead in June. Despite widespread anger at Washington over the last month's debt ceiling negotiations and a week of brutal financial news, several polls this week have suggested that Obama and the Democratic brand are hanging tough for now. A look at Obama's approval ratings across all 50 states released on Monday showed him gaining ground in a number of critical states since the Democrats' disastrous midterm election. A CNN poll on Tuesday showed the Republican party more unpopular than ever in the wake of the debt ceiling fight while Democrats are holding steady. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/08/obama-surges-to-lead-against-generic-republican.php?ref=fpb
