Can Obama Defy History?

[Mutiny In Heaven]

10. There's more precedent to suggest that he WILL be re-elected

Yet few sources focus on that...

People like to imagine that Romney has Clinton-esque appeal, but the simple fact of the matter is that no sitting President in the media age has ever been ousted by someone who lags so dramatically in terms of likeability and charisma. It may seem frivolous, but it's a huge indicator because it predicts just where the public are likely to lay their trust, however tenuous their belief that the President is on the right track. It's important that the Obama campaign continues to define Romney; don't let him be seen as a benevolent benefactor.

It is only due to the hundreds of millions Citizens United has allowed dubious characters to saturate the election with that he has been handed something approaching a 50% chance of victory.
