The former Arkansas governor really wants to be president, so I think his decision to sit out the 2012 contest says a lot about what many regard as President Obama's strong chance for reelection.
The current field of Republican challengers is, so far, a pretty sorry list of whack jobs and has-beens. When I look at who is running (or about to run), I immediately realize that today's Republican bench looks as pathetic as many say the Democratic bench looked in the 1980s.
Mr. Obama will have to fight for a second term, and I am sure a 2012 victory will be much closer than the 2008 rout of McCain/Palin. But, right now, I like his chances.
