fails, Impact on Obama Politically? Assume the President now has One Hundred units of political capital to spend. How many units will he have if the healthcare bill fails? How about if the Climate change bill fails? How about if both fail? How about if both get enacted into law.?
Would he be inevitable in 2012 if he gets both bills through.
Would he be another Jimmy Carter in 2012 if both bills fail completely?
Assume that he's not a strong candidate in 2012, and that the GOP simply does not have any chance because of its record and because it is a backwards and idea-free party -- the party of naysayers and obstructionists, who have nothing better to offer -- is there a candidate on the Democratic side that might beat Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2012? If so, who?
Is there a decent third party prospect? Maybe Bloomberg?
