Obama Wins in 2012: A Prediction from a Guy Who's Never Been Wrong

President Obama

Columnist James Zogby writes today about a man named Allan Lichtman, an American University professor, who has developed a system for predicting presidents that has never been wrong. Using his 13 standards for victory, Barack Obama either wins easily or wins a close race in 2012, depending mostly on how his foreign policy goes during the next year.

Obama has some major pluses, a couple of points on the downside and about three real questions. If he fails on all the potential potholes, he still wins because his strengths are so solid, according to the good professor. Read it for yourself. It's interesting.
