The GOP is dead set against Obama. It doesn't matter who wins in 2012. We're screwed either way.

The Democrats never had the super majority in the Senate. They had to deal with the Franken-Coleman election issue in 2008 which left Minnesota with one less senator thus leaving the dems with a 59-40 lead over the GOP...and when Franken managed to get sworn in we ended up losing Ted Kennedy thus leaving the balance at 49-40 again...then Scott Brown was elected leaving it at a final 59-41. And out of those 59 only 5 voted against the Dream act while the majority of the republicans voted against it as well.
And who can run a successful primary campaign against OBama and then go on to defeat the GOP candidate? No one. Let me make it clear for you, even if someone like Jon Huntsman, a moderate Republican who has supported us in the past, were to win the 2012 election, the Tea Party and the right wing of the GOP will make sure he fails in every way-that's just the current state of affairs. I unlike you, am optimistic, and i have more than a hunch that the Democrats will take back the House and will have enough people in the Senate to re-write the rules and ban the damn filibuster.
