Wehnrer: Obama will be the easiest incumbent to beat since Carter
Peter Wehner of Commentary magazine sees President Obama as the easiest incumbent to beat since 1980.
Meanwhile, a new Wall Street Journal/Washington Post poll quantifies Mr. Obama's bounce in the polls after the killing of Osama bin Laden. He's up by three percent.
That does put him above 50% for the first time in a while. But don't count on it to last.
Personally, I'm not quite as optimistic about the GOP's chances of beating Mr. Obama. I don't see a Ronald Reagan in the field of potential challengers right now, though I'm looking hard at Mitch Daniels.
Of course, I didn't see a Ronald Reagan in the field when Ronald Reagan was running, either. He was a pleasant surprise.
