It all depends on whether Super PACS remain legal or whether citizen's united is overturned by a revamped Supreme Court. At the moment all the attack ads are funded by Super Pacs which don't have to disclose their donors or even their affiliation and thus they can go negative and anti-factual with impunity.

I have argued that Obama may even be disadvantaged by not being primaried from the left this year because Romney is being defined as a moderate centrist by the attacks coming from his right. Without an effective attack from his left, Obama remains defined as the leftward edge of the known political universe by the MSM, and not as the pragmatic moderate centrist he actually is.
