14. Obama,
The only reason he will fail in his reelection bid is because of his own actions and mistakes. The Republican party has a fatal flaw, it is deeply divided. If a moderate is nominated, somebody like Romney or Huntsman, they will fail because the rabid right Teabaggers will stay home and not vote because the candidate isn't pure enough for them.

If a rabid Teabagger like Perry or Bachmann gets the nomination, they will fail because the Republican moneymakers won't open their checkbooks for such an obviously insane candidate. This is why the McCain/Palin ticket failed.

Thus, the only one who can really defeat Obama is himself, and so far, he's doing a pretty decent job of that, the way he continues to piss off core constituencies.
