President Barack Obama’s top advisers are quietly laying the groundwork for the 2012 reelection campaign, which is likely to be run out of Chicago and managed by White House deputy chief of staff Jim Messina, according to Democrats familiar with the discussions.
The planning for now consists entirely of private conversations, with Obama aides at all levels indulging occasionally in closed-door 2012 discussions while focusing ferociously on the midterm elections and health care reform, the Democratic sources said. “The gathering storm is the 2010 elections,†one top official said.
Even though the planning is still very preliminary, the campaign is likely to launch in just over a year. President Bill Clinton opened his second presidential campaign in the March after his first midterm congressional elections, and President George W. Bush opened Bush-Cheney '04 a month later in the political cycle.
Aides expect Obama to hew to a similar schedule. A president’s reelection campaign — “the reelect,†as Obama intimates are already calling it — is a massive, lavishly funded machine that hires hundreds of people and spends hundreds of millions of dollars to carry out the mechanics of a national campaign, while the candidate and many of his top aides continue their day jobs of running the free world.

Did the 2008 campaign stop? I must have missed that part. :-)

That's what we need to fear.

I think they're just re-christening it.

They're doing that? Really?

I hope to have change then--pocket change and otherwise!

We can't afford the four years we've already got. The midterms aren't even here and they're planning for 2012?
Presumptuous little ****ers, ain't they?

Hi,
Some dipstick from the administration was just on Fox saying they had not even given a thought to the reelection campaign in 2012 and the report was bogus.
Bullshit!

It was what, a month ago where Lord Zero said that he would rather be a great one term president than a mediocre two term president? That right there means that reelection has already been discussed.

This is all they know how to do, campaign. Alinsky just covered that part, not to actually govern. I don't see a plauible scenario in which Obama could be reelected in 2012 that doesn't involve even widerspread ACORN/SEIU fraud and millions more of George Soros' money. The second presidential term is always worse than the first, can't imagine that part, either.

They're making their list now on what to steal on their way out of town in 2012.

As far as I'm concerned, they can start by removing all the "O" keys off the 'puters!
