Marc: GOPer Obama Should Fear

Nothing, ever – nothing – is certain in politics. A candidate or officeholder can literally go from hero to zero in the length of time it takes to send a tweet or jackknife a trailer behind the SUV you have apparently just stolen. There are no sure things. Nothing is ever pre-determined in politics. The game must be played, the votes cast and counted. Hero to zero avoided. So, with the acknowledgement that Barack Obama shouldn’t, and by most accounts isn’t, taking a second term for granted next year, the president must have taken some cold comfort from the fact that, until yesterday, the likely GOP field confronting him was not comprised of political world or incumbent beaters. The guy that I’m betting the White House fears the most formally got into the race yesterday. Jon Huntsman , the former Governor of Utah and U.S. Ambassador to China , is all that the rest of the field isn’t – moderate, interesting, possessed of humor and good looks and projecting something like charisma/ Marc Johnson , The Johnson Report.
