President Barack Obama is expected to announce that he will run for reelection in 2012 on Monday, CNN reports.
Democratic sources tell the network that the president will alert supporters of his plans in a video sent via email or text message.
Mike Allen wrote in Saturday morning’s Politico Playbook that Obama would likely make his plans known on Monday; however, officials would not confirm a specific date “in case some transcendent event in the world would overshadow the kickoff.”
For his 2012 reelection campaign, Obama’s team will be based at One Prudential Plaza in the Windy City. The location sits just a few blocks away from where the president delivered his victory speech in 2008 at Grant Park.
Jim Messina, who served as deputy chief of staff to Obama for two years until last January, will be Obama’s campaign manager for his operation in the next election cycle.
Obama is not expected to face a serious primary challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination. He will likely face off against one of a number of potential Republican candidates currently testing the waters in a general election match-up for the White House in 2012.

Why would he want the bushos of loosing?
He obviously has no booshes
Just wait ya all and see him win. Some idiots will make sure…
Unfortunately he is going to win !!! There is no real challenger in the republican side
Davenport that he doesn’t get reelected
5, sorry to tell you the real campaign doesn’t start till shortly before the primaries, ie, say November for argument sake. Besides there are a number of Republicans who are running / will run of which MOST will beat him. If we are smart enough to ignore the liberal media & put up a Conservative, the question wouldn’t be if he loses, it would be by how much!
That being said I expect lots of voter fraud perpetrated by the socialists out there including the unions whom he beholden to as well as organizations such as NAALCP, Black Panthers, etc., just like in 2008!!
I most agree with #4 & #5. As long as the Republicans won’t have a fresh, strong candidate Obama is walking in for a second term.
Anyone who thinks they can predict the election almost a year and a half ahead of time is living in fantasy land.
