Andrew Chaplowitz on why Obama is a slam-dunk to re-elect
So both parties held their conventions.

Barack Obama will be re-elected. Here's why:

The Republicans laid an egg. Arguments to the contrary by journalists of a certain right wing radio station (Hannity, Grant, Levin, O'Reilly), who artificially pumped up the Republican convention.

The fact remains the domestic numbers under the incumbent are as bad as under the last two Presidents to be voted out of office (Bush41 and in the words of Bob Grant, "Jimmy Peanut"). Unfortunately for them, they faced two of the most charismatic public speakers in history, I speak of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton (who once again, rocked the arena last week).

In contrast, Romney failed to allocute how he would fix the economic mess, only to identify the problem. Not to mention the failure to be more transparent with his tax returns is fodder for late night television hosts.

Luckily for Barack, there is no challenge. The debates will feature the prevent defense from both sides, avoiding the mea culpa that affected another sitting President voted outGerald Ford,  ("there is no conflict in Poland").

Verdict: Barack, with room to spare.

See you in November.
