0bama will try to employ someone to split the vote against him as Bill Clinton did.
The only way to get him out of office will be for the GOP to nominate a candidate who is not out of touch, old guard, or doesn't inspire broad-based confidence in their own abilities. That means we cannot afford another Dole, McCain, or for that matter Palin.

I think Bob McDonnell is one to watch. We still have some time to figure it out and get it right.

Yeah. Like how that tecnqiuque worked for the Democrats in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Not!
The independents in both NJ and Mass, who were supposed to take votes away from the Repunloican candidate, ended up getting clobberedd but good. The independent candidate in New Jersey, Daggett, who was polling as high as 18% just a few weeks before the elections, ended up getting only 5.8% of the vote, and lost most of his supporters to the Republican Charlie Christie, who won by a solid 4.3%.
This is not 1992.
Voters nowadays, are not as stupid as you think they are.
