It's a comparative game. There is no question that he's more electable than Santorum or Gingrich.

Much will depend on the perception of the economy. It is already incredibly heavily subsidized, to the tune of several tens of billions a week -- that is, between the crazy volumes of borrowing and spending, and all the "stimuli". Take out this subsidy, and we are in a depression. Subsidy won't hold things forever, but may be able to keep the numbers up for a while, enough for our fearless leader to claim credit for the "prosperity". And the public by now is accustomed to buy into agitprop. Very few look beneath it.
