Doug Schoen and Pat Caddell (Democrat pollsters) in the Wahington Post:
"We believe Obama should announce immediately that he will not be a candidate for reelection in 2012...The best way for him to address both our national challenges and the serious threats to his credibility and stature is to make clear that, for the next two years, he will focus exclusively on the problems we face as Americans, rather than the politics of the moment - or of the 2012 campaign."
Caddell has worked for George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Gary Hart, Joe Biden and Jerry Brown.
Schoen has done work for Ed Koch, and Bill and Hillary Clinton.
This is the first time I've seen Democrats suggest this but perhaps it's because these two don't have to worry about running for office. They currently contribute to Fox New. I doubt if any Democrat politician or current Democrat pollster would suggest this. Have you heard any other establishment Democrat suggest Obama not run for re-election?
Axelrod said he's soon leaving the White House to run Obama's 2012 campaign.
I hope he does exactly what they recommend...take himself out of consideration for 2012.
Why?
Because with him gone, the GOP will have nothing. No target. No enemy to point their rabid supporters at. No agenda. By doing that, he would take away their ammunition and force them to reveal their bankrupt ideas, force them to actually govern.
He would be doing his nation and his party a great service to leave the GOP standing there with empty hands.
Like sealing the boarders, promoting school vouchers, switching from a paygo to a funded/private social security system, and repealing Obama care? Fair enough, I'll take that agenda and you can have Obama back.

Except for repealing "Obama care" they've been promising that since Ronald Reagan, but never delivered.

So? Thanks for posting their past failures, you did know they were failures and not wins, didn't you. I am sure the GOP does not want Obama to run again, sorry to burst your bubble but it looks like is going to do just that. As for concentrating on the work to be done, I am sure he will. just I am sure the OP House will everything in their power to stop anything he wants to do then proudly proclaim that the President could get nothing done so the voters should pick another Repub for the WH. Bad news is a lot can change in two years and if the economy starts showing more improvement and the GOP over estimates their current mandate then the odds are in Obama and the Dems favor. I find it interesting that anyone from the right would say the Dems should stop running for office while the whole time talkig about the next election, Hypocritical thinking at it finest.
