This pretty much sums up the possibilities for the next election.
either
a) Obama is neutered by the state of Congress since the midterm election. He doesn't screw anything up because nothing can really get done. He wins by default.
b) Obama gets stuff done, despite gridlock. He wins.
c) Republicans somehow manage to get Obama to self destruct. They also somehow manage to find a candidate who isn't a complete idiot. Then it might be a close race.
