Don't Underestimate Him

That is the warning from Charles Krauthammer in a sobering piece appearing in National Review. Republicans should feel confident, but certainly not giddy. Obama may actually be hoping for a GOP takeover of Congress in order to set up a villain opponent that he can label and manipulate for the sake of his own reelection, in the way Bill Clinton did in '96. If the Republicans win back the House, and perhaps even the Senate, they cannot afford to rest on their laurels, but need to stay on the offensive, and relentlessly so.
