I don't know. Don't be so quick to judge. I think it's a fair assessment. How do you think it will turn out. I'll copy your response and post next year...

I don't really like to try to make predictions this far out, as much will change between now and November of next years.

But at this point the most likely version of events is that its Obama v. Romney (because it's Romney's "turn") and Romney fights the good fight like Dole in 1996. This gives Romney his chance to run, gets him out of the way, and doesn't waste anyone who might actually be able to win in 2016.

There's a small chance the party will nominate an extremist like Bachmann, in which case it will look more like Reagan v. Mondate and the extremist will be lucky to win their own home state.

It all depends on what sort of insanity the far right wing of the GOP engage in between then and now.

And I think the assent of Obama's chances at 60-40 is farcical and a creation of jdhill's deep emotional commitment to the Conservative narrative as supplied by the usual sources.
