In a column for Bloomberg, Ralph Nader has outlined the reasons he believes President Obama will not be defeated in 2012.

Some of the points have been heavily covered previously, such as the lack of strong challengers on both sides, but Nader also looks at the effects of U.S. governors’ divergent approaches toward workers’ rights. — KDG
