Will The Osama Halo Effect Help Obama Against Trump?

The devout non-jocks who feel alternately superior and intimidated by the QB reassess his past behavior and decide he’s not such a jerk after all.

How will Obama’s positions and abilities be reassessed — whether on the budget or taxes or gas prices or health-care reform or one of 100 other topics — in light of a military/intelligence victory that took place on his watch?

The halo effect is often short-lived — but will it, in this case, live long enough to power Obama through an election cycle?
