Rattlesnakes eating their own....

One of the four reasons I give B Hussein Obama a 50/50 chance of winning reelection is the fact he already has his nomination.  Well maybe this is not as certain as I though.

Liberals vow to challenge Obama in Democratic primaries - Washington Times

President Obama's smooth path to the Democratic nomination may have gotten rockier Monday, after a group of liberal leaders, including former presidential candidate Ralph Nader, announced plans to challenge the incumbent in primaries next year.

The group said the goal is to offer up a handful of candidates from various fields and areas where the president either has failed to stake out a "progressive" position or where he has "drifted toward the corporatist right."

"Without debates by challengers inside the Democratic Party's presidential primaries, the liberal/majoritarian agenda will be muted and ignored," Mr. Nader said in a news release. "The one-man Democratic primaries will be dull, repetitive, and draining of both voter enthusiasm and real bright lines between the two parties that excite voters."

In search of candidates, Mr. Nader and the others sent out a letter, endorsed by 45 "distinguished leaders,"to elected officials, civic leaders, academics and members of the progressive community who specialize among other things in labor, poverty, military and foreign policy. The list, they said, also includes progressive Democrats who have held national and state office and have fought for progressive reforms.

In 1980 Teddy Kennedy challenged Jimmy Carter and did some damage to the man.  In 1992 Pat Buchanan, along with Ross Perot, seriously hurt George HW Bush is his re-nomination.  Suffice to say any challenge to Obama will harm and hopefully insure he is similar to Carter and HW Bush.  A one term president.

"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.

Nothing says working people and Main Street like a Harvard professor who has never held a real job, or a rich hypocrite "consumer advocate" or a leftwing group called Friends of the Earth.
