I think this issue is moot. Mr. Obama will be the Democratic candidate for President in 2012. There is no real opposition to him in his own party.

Almost all of the Republican candidates are proving themselves too radical to have any real hope of election. This is especially true when you consider various Republicans and their proposals to demolish Social Security, to forbid the construction of mosques, and to subvert the Constitutional protections of political minorities. The Christian Right may be strong, but most Americans are somewhat freaked out about the possibility of religion becoming too influential, in an overt manner, in American politics.

Mr. Ron Paul would make a very good President, and he is cut of different material. The problem is, he has less charisma and is not electable as a President on a first time basis. He would make a great Vice President who might step into presidential shoes in the manner of a past underdog: Harry Truman.

In a nutshell, Mr. Obama will win the 2012 election, unless the Republicans dig up a candidate of their own who is middle of the road and has charisma. This does not seem likely at this point.

A lot of people find themselves not comfortable about this, but there will be no perfect candidates in this coming election; not in fantasy or reality.
