Q.

Obama's foreign policy

More likely situation in which the President's foreign policy successes could givehim a boost:

(From David McField in Oceanside, CA)

Q.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how critical will it be to President Obama's re-election chances whether congressional and senate candidates choose to campaign with him in 2012? To what extent have democratic campaigns already made that decision? (From Fix blog commenter jrosco3)

Q.

Obama vs Bowles-Simpson

What are the odds of Obama eventually adopting Bowles-Simpson:

1) Low -- he already shot it down and will not revisit that decision

2) Medium -- It'd be a smart political move but it's unclear that Obama is that kind of gambler?

(From Emery in Mpls, MN)
