Florida Governor foresees Obama loss similar to Jimmy Carter's

Possible 2012 Republican Presidential candidate and current Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, predicts a loss for President Barack Obama in 2012; Jimmy Carter-style.

Governor Charlie Crist was one of the keynote speakers at Friday's biennial Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference on Mackinac Island, Michigan and discussed the 2012 Presidential election. The Florida Governor believes that President Barack Obama will be a one-term President and it could be very similar to what happened to former Democratic President Jimmy Carter, according to CNN. “I think the people wanted a change. They wanted a change back in 1976. You remember? Richard Nixon had been president. That ended. Gerald Ford took over. The people decided they wanted a change. They got one-Jimmy Carter. Four years later, they took care of business-Ronald Reagan. It may happen again.” The Senate candidate thinks the Republican Party will be on a winning streak for a long time to come, “especially after the seven or eight or nine months that we've had of this new administration.” If Crist were to run for the Republican nomination in 2012 then he would be quite behind the frontrunners. According to a Rasmussen poll, Crist only has 2 per cent of Republican support. The Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference is held every other year-non-election-years as it brings Republican politicians across the country and in 2007 it had all the 2008 Presidential candidates such as Texas Congressman Ron Paul, California Congressman Duncan Hunter, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani and others.
