Lose- and he will be seen as ineffectual, a lame duck, someone who has no clout left. Win, and he starts something 90+ % of Americans are opposed to, strengthens the T-baggers and libertarians, and likely ends up with Syria as a complete chaos factory which will drag Jordan and Israel in. He's already destroyed what support he had from the rest of the world post Bush.
