On a less serious note, this article argues that the winner of the presidential election may already be decided. If fate does exist it could be that Obama's chances at reelection aren't too great. Apparently in the past 150 years every presidential election that took place on November 6th has been won by the Republican candidate.

But then there's the theory that Obama will win because of the Oscar results. When the same film is named Best Picture at the Golden Globes and the Oscars the Republican candidate wins, whereas if two different films win these top honors the Democratic candidate is elected. However, this trend has only existed for the past 50 years.
More likely than not these are just coincidences, but if either of them were true it might simplify the campaign process.It's unlikely that most people would be opposed to this. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

If memory serves, there's at least one more reason to be skeptical about Obama's reelection: When, if ever, was the last time Americans have elected three two-term presidents in a row?
