Frustrating Disconnect

A new Pew survey reports that Americans think the divide between rich and poor is the largest source of tension in the country today. Combine that with the fact that the leading GOP contender, Mittens, is himself stinking rich, largely because he ran a cut-throat vulture capitalism fund, openly advocates for huge tax breaks for the wealthy, and says crap like, "it's fine to talk about those things [income inequality] in quiet rooms" and you'd think that Obama would be cruising toward an easy November victory. Yet, Intrade currently gives the Prez a 51% chance of reelection. I trust Barack to run a highly effective campaign and to hammer away at Romney on economics but given the vast differences between their stances I just don't get why he's not already running away with it.
