...Four years ago, you would not have said a Democratic nominee would win states like Indiana, North Carolina, and Virginia, so I think you cannot look at what happened on November 4th and assume that in November of 2012 that that is going to be terribly educational, because things can change rapidly. Presidential campaigns are like a puzzle. You’re trying to piece together 270 electoral votes. And I think right now there’s no doubt that we have an easier path than Republicans do.

...reform in Cuba, Obama is expected to lift restrictions on Cuban-American travel and remittances to the island before the Americas summit begins. The U.S. Congress, for its part, appears closer than ever to passing legislation to lift the Cuban travel ban for all U.S. citizens - prominent lawmakers like Indiana Republican Senator Richard Lugar now call the embargo a failed policy - and Obama would probably sign such a measure. At the same time, Fidel and Raúl Castro have both in recent days expressed an unusual willingness to talk with the U.S. about improving Washington-Havana relations...
