Obama runs, he loses - big. Many republicans could have been worse than Romney. I can name one right now - McCain. 2, Jeb Bush 3, Santorum 4, Meg Whitman 5, Huntsman 6, Lugar.
It is not possible for a president to "suspend the election" - who told you that it is? It could get ugly with something like a rogue drone attack on Romney's house sometime around mid October, or a Supreme Court Justice or two suddenly falling down and having a heart attack on the street, but rest assured, Obama is not a god. He will win or lose based on how many EC votes he gets compared to Romney - that's all.
Then we get all the juicy, salacious books from former staffers and Hawaiian DOH officials looking to cash in, a whole passel of people seeking immunity from prosecution will roll and it'll be Zero's turn under the bus.
Possible scenario: It is "discovered" that Iran is far closer to building a bomb than thought before. Air strikes are needed.
Stranger things have happened. Clinton started a war over a blow job in the oval office. Bombing Iran to turn the tide in an election is plausible.
None of those guys is worse than Romney, who is both the “father of Obamacare” and the “father of gay marriage in Massachusetts.” Romney’s as liberal as the day is long and I doubt that he’s going to change a single thing that Bambi has managed to do. His judicial appointments were also something like 67% Dems during his tenure as MA gov,so he’s not even reliable that way. He didn’t run again simply because he knew he was going to lose.
Even McCain was better than Romney. The GOP wanted the closest they could get to a Dem, and Romney - who also had the virtue of being self-financing - was it.
Who told you that is in not possible? Just who will stop him if he decide to do it?
As I said, the “suspend the election” thing is at the tin-foil hat end of the spectrum.
It would certainly be possible for him to do so - and have the support of most of Americans and the military, which is what counts - if there’s some kind of national emergency. But as I said, I don’t think he’s bright enough to stage one and get away with it, and I also think he’s sick of the job anyway.
