I think just about anybody that runs can beat Obama in 2012 unless he makes a radical move to the center over the next 2 years. He campaigned as a centrist but governs from the far left. He is an idealogue and will never move to the center lik Clinton did in 1994.

I have said before, I don't think he will run for reelection in 2012 or he just wouldn't have said and done some of the things he has said and done the past 2 years.
