Maybe 2012 is Not Obama's Year

There is a new McClatchy-Marist poll that shows President Obama losing support vis-a-via Republican challengers, particularly amongst independents.  Here is a report on the poll in The Miami Herald.
The biggest gain came for Palin, the former Alaska governor who hasn't yet announced whether she'll jump into the fast-changing race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

After trailing Obama by more than 20 percentage points in polls all year, the new national survey, taken Sept. 13-14, found Palin trailing the president by just 5 points, 49-44 percent. The key reason: She now leads Obama among independents, a sharp turnaround.
If we accept the view of the Democrats and their Media supporters that Ms Sarah Palin is a joke, then what does that say about President Barack Obama?

And things aren't going to get any better with the upcoming UN vote on Palestinian statehood.

For those who care, I am still holding out for Governor Mitch Daniels.

My first impression, inheriting as whoever would a broken, broke and without-prospects country from his or her predecessor, arguably the worst president in terms of consequences in the history of our country, that whoever won the last presidential election would likely be a one-term wonder. Given all the mistakes Obama has made extending and expanding the disastrous policies of his predecessor, (economic policies like "stimulus" and bank bailouts, wartime policies like starting two new wars on top of continuing two failing/failed ones, etc.), it's not hard for me to foresee an "upset" in the making, from either side.

I'd say, if the D's want to improve their chances in 2012, they'd do worse than to produce an effective replacement to their current incumbent. (The funniest part will be, should the R's fail to convert their chance, recognizing what a failed "state" the Republican party currently stands to be).

Too bad--it could have been a good year for a good independent candidacy...
