This is a fabulous article that I came across today.
It's, IMO a great insight into how the President won the election and also the fact that while he did win, he not winning any longer.

AM I crazy, or wasn’t the Obama presidency pronounced dead just days ago? Obama had “all but lost control of the agenda in Washington,” declared
Newsweek on Feb. 4 as it wondered whether he might even get a stimulus package through Congress. “Obama Losing Stimulus Message War” was the
headline at Politico a day later. At the mostly liberal MSNBC, the morning host, Joe Scarborough, started preparing the final rites. Obama couldn’t
possibly eke out a victory because the stimulus package was “a steaming pile of garbage.”
