Few Presidential elections can be taken as of certain result. A decisively large slice of the electorate still likes Obama personally, so the news media will frame an Obama vs. Gingrich election as a choice of personalities, with Newt’s flaws given constant attention.
“A decisively large slice of the electorate still likes”
I don’t agree with that at all. The 2010 elections were a referendum on both Obama the man and his policies. Both he and his policies were repuciated. The only people that like Obama and what he is doing is the liberal base of his party, the blacks, and the new media. All three of these groups have the same mindset. Obama, his policies, and his leadership were all thrown on the trash heap of society in the 2010 electons.
The press cheerleads for Obama day in and day out, if it were not for that, the man’s approval ratings would be in the teens. The press is carrying this man’s sorry a##. The majority of the American electorate, I believe, have great disdain and the utomost contempt for the man. As they should.
