The difference between Obama and most every democrat that has lost a modern election (Carter, Dukakis, Mondale and Kerry) is that instead of letting the opposition define them with negative association, the Obama campaign defined itself early on with a clear, succint (and in Obama's case) vague message.
You could trot out most anything now and Obama would cycle back to his message and diffuse it. I'm not saying he can't be beat, I'm saying he can't be beat by the old-politics method of negative association.
