I wonder if Hillary will make a move? She would have it on a silver platter.
"We need to put strong Democratic pressure on President Obama in the name of poor and working people," said Cornel West, author and professor at Princeton University who has been highly critical of Mr. Obama's tenure since helping him get elected in 2008. "His administration has tilted too much toward Wall Street, we need policies that empower Main Street."
Mr. Nader and Mr. West are joined by Christ Townsend, of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, and Brent Blackwelder, president emeritus of Friends of the Earth.

His approval rating is at its lowest level ever. His party just lost two House elections — one in a district it had held for 88 consecutive years. He's staked his future on the jobs bill, which most Americans don't think would work.
The vultures are starting to circle. Former White House spokesman Bill Burton said that unless Obama can rally the Democratic base, which is disillusioned with him, "it's going to be impossible for the president to win." Democratic consultant James Carville had one word of advice for Obama: "Panic."

Aren't there always "challengers"? And I couldn't be prouder of my cousin. Walks on water, "challenges" the president in a primary...etc
If those are the names being bandied about, there is effectively no primary challenger.

Perhaps. . .
I really don't see Hillary stepping out from behind Obama. I think she would be more content to allow Obama to get shellacked in the '12 election than to gamble on people voting against the Democrat party in the '12 election. She might also find ire from deeply loyal Democrats who would be upset with her over causing a fracture in the party. She will be 69 in 2016, and unless she's simply ready to retire from the public eye and write her memoirs, I'd think she would wait until then.

No chance. Even her husband was bolstering support for Obama on TV runs over the weekend and this morning.
It doesn't matter how they feel about each other imo. They are true politicians. If he was going to support her run it would've started months and months ago.
I wonder if Nader will choose a running mate early?

I think the problem with most red staters comprehension lies in the fact they just do not get it...
Dick Cheney tried to float this idea over the weekend. It's no more than a pipe dream.

She got the crazy eye...kinda like that girl who shoved her husband out of the UP tower window earlier this year...
Not very smart, but he slept in a Holiday Inn.

Evergreen and GM too. There are now 15 more that they are rushing to close out. Donergate is the Chicago way.
So former president clinton is scheduled to release a book on how to get America back on track. He plans to release in November after all of the GOP candidates will have entered the race.
Bill Clinton is no longer president but says he is so concerned about the bleak U.S. economic outlook that he will set out his blueprint for America in a new book to be published in November.
Clinton's Back to Work lays out the former president's plan to get the country "back into the future business," Knopf Chairman and Editor in Chief Sonny Mehta said in a statement.
Hmmm. Perhaps we are in store for another Lyndon Johnson. It would be honorable for President Obama to step aside after losing the house, and the senate next year, and most likely the election if he runs, not to mention plunging us from dip to hole. If Bill paves the way, Hillary can join the race in November and with her approval ratings, and Bill's economic prowess be a shoe-in. The Clinton pit-yorkie, Carville, is already beating the bushes to frame President Obama as an economic klutz.

Hmm, interesting, Clinton writes about pragmatic ways we can get America back to work, Obama writes about smoking pot, audacity, and dreams. Should have been a warning...
