Bush's campaign strategists, while predicting a close outcome next year, agree that the lack of a primary opponent is a significant source of strength for the president, allowing him unchallenged access to GOP donors and unrivaled freedom to embrace swing voters. "The president's views and swing voters' views are much more aligned" than the Democrats are with such voters, said Matthew Dowd, a campaign strategist.

Democrats, by contrast, are vying with one another to appeal to their party's core supporters, far from the voters who usually decide election victories. "They're basically making a choice today that is going to cause them significant trouble in achieving a majority of the electorate," Dowd said.

Hopefully this article will motivate us to become more politically active!

I think this guy is gonna be in fo a shock when he sees the amount of money and support the Dem frontrunner will raise by next November. This is one election where swing voters have already made their decision, and it's not a good decision for the RNC, or for Bush.
