AITOOW understands that Obama's numbers are slipping among Independents because of three reasons? 1. These people have no principles or loyalty and are by definition fickle. 2. They only voted for him in the first place because it made them feel post-racial. 3. They disliked Sarah Palin.
Now we wait and see if he is willing to go down with the ship or decide to save himself. I believe he will do a Clinton and become an impotent figurehead. These types of people can't accept premature irrelevance. He spent his entire life trying to climb this hill. He has nothing to aim for after this. He's too young to let his career ambitions disappear at this point. He has fallen in love with being in charge and will do anything to hang on to it. Unless a scandal makes being in the lime light untenable, he will choose to keep the crown.
Gore is already the nominal king of the planet so he can't even go there. He will be satisfied with being a lame duck who can use the bully pulpit to espouse his agenda and foreign policy powers to make the world adore him. Plus he will achieve enough window dressing (SC appointments, Gays in the military) to keep himself from feeling like too much of a sell out. It's a perfect fit. The US gets a small government Congress and a touchy feely President to provide a check against it's religious/social ambitions (veto power). Plus he gets to talk about issues instead of dealing with them. A liberals Nirvanah.
