I know the new tactic by Republicans is to try to cause a crack in the democratic party by suggesting that another democrat would have a chance.
It is simply not going to happen. Democrats know that there best chance to win is with the incumbent and not having two people beating each other up on the way to the election.
Bill Clinton handled the suggestion that his wife run with great skill. He recognizes what the Republicans are trying to do and simply does not fall for it. We miss Bill.
Here is Bill on Meet the press.
"But I also have a high regard for Vice President Cheney's political skills, and I think one of those great skills is sowing discord among the opposition. So I think he's right that she's done a heck of a job. But she is a member of this administration, and committed to doing it. And I think he, by saying something nice about her in the way that he did, knew that it might cause a little trouble," Clinton continued.
"I don't want to help him succeed in his political strategy. But I admire that he's still out there hitting the ball."
I think you are wrong. Many voters who voted for Obama's hope and change are bound and determined to remove him from office.
No other viable democratic candidate is going to run. The democratic party rightfully would not support such a move. If the People want him gone it is going to have to be a republican candidate. Right now the chances of that happening are slim to none.
A primary challenger doesn't have to be "viable" to damage a vulnerable incumbent during the primary race.
If they are not a viable candidate, it would be like a bear taking a crap in the woods. Nobody would be around to hear it.
