Unfortunately, I think it proved that the President being anti the challenger is enough to win.

Obama ran a small-target, defensive campaign with a few granular announcements, but not much about how he plans to fix the economy.
It was enough - at least against a candidate without a compelling case of his own and a party veering into Crazytown. If Romney actually had a workable plan instead of "My tax plan is too complicated to explain, but trust me guys" and the Republicans hadn't tried their hardest to alienate women and Hispanics, Obama would have been in trouble.
