it's hard to say, but I think there's no such thing as underestimating the American voter.
However, there is one huge issue here. the republican party has done everything in their power for 8 years to segregate t his country into liberals and conservatives and their synonymous counterparts Democrats and Republicans.
Now, in a two party system even the ideas of liberalism and conservatism are party specific.
that hard line will work in Barack's favor, because the country is now in the shitter and Bush (and therefore the republicans and conservatives) are to blame. People will vote for Obama because he's not like Bush.
