As of early October 2012:
According to trading at Intrade (a world-wide prediction market), President Obama has a very good chance. President Obama is listed with a 73.7% likelihood to win the 2012 election and that trend is generally going up. They have his opponent, former governor Romney, at 26.4% likelihood with a continuing down trend.
Note:
The Intrade site (link is in related links section below) is the world's leading stock-trading-style market (called a "decision market" or "prediction market") which attempts to "trade" the likelihood of various people being the next president, in the same way people trade stocks. While certainly not a guarantee, it's a good way to see how people who actually bet money on an outcome (instead of just answering a random poll) predict who the next President will be.
With Intrade, these numbers don't necessarily have to add up to 100%, the numbers are based upon active "betting" with investment on one or the other to win the election. Many believe this is a better and more accurate way to determine what people are willing to put their money down for, as opposed to getting the numbers from polling opinions.

No chance. The president's spouse has no claims on the presidency . <><><> True- HOWEVER- If Bill Clinton ran as her Vice Presient, and were elected to that office, AND the President became unable to complete the term of office, THEN Bill Clinton could again become President. The Constitution provides that one may be ELECTED to the office of President only twice. He would not have been elected more than twice.

Who was Thomas Jefferson's running mate in 1800?
Aaron Burr was Jefferson's running mate in 1800. Before the 12th amendment was ratified, each elector cast two votes. The highest was elected president and the 2nd highest vice-president. In 1800 Jefferson and his running mate tied for highest number of votes, so the House had to break the tie. It should have been automatic, but Burr saw his chance to be president and refused to drop out. The opposing Federalists saw their chance to cause trouble for the Republicans and maybe to make a deal, but eventually Jefferson was elected president and Burr vice-president.
What president was a dismal failure?
