I think Soros or other key ObaMao bagmen selected Biden and told ObaMao to put him on the ticket. He serves a useful role by making ObaMao look intelligent.
Roseann Barr announced that she is running for President on the Green Party ticket? Is Ralph Nader aware of that?
That's what happened in the last MA governor race. Deval Patrick is not wildly popular and a lot of people thought that he would lose. Well, his Treasury Secretary, Tim Cahill, entered the race as an Independent. Cahill is a long-time Democrat politician, but he had "seen the light" and tried to run a conservative campaign against Big Government. Cahill and the Republican split the anti-Patrick vote and Patrick won without a lot of fuss.
Tim Cahill then went back to being a loyal member of Deval Patrick's cabinet.
It was pretty slick. You could be it being done, but they still pulled it off.
Nader could do more good by, once again, running as an independent in the general election and siphoning off a few million far left votes.
Bet Obama’s tribe is on the hunt for anyone in the party who will challenge him,may be a Vince Foster event Chicago style?.
“Ralph Nader: “almost 100 percent certain” Obama will face primary challenge”
An’ you da man ta do it, Ralph! Git goin’!
An’ if you don’t win, why no’ go fo’ a third-party campaign??
Jes’ suggestin’....
I’ve been saying for a year that Obama would face a primary challenge, and thinking it would probably be Hillary. The idea there would be that Hillary would present herself as a more “moderate” alternative to Obama and how Obama is perceived by a growing number of the now-disaffected who voted for him in ‘08. I figured she would start a “positioning” effort slowly and subtly to test the waters, and jump in late. I no longer think that, and though I think Nader is right in his basic premise-—he’s pretty much there as far as what the ‘issues’ might be, but
he’s equally pretty much clueless as to how ‘electable’ such a challenger might be vis-a-vis Obama. Obama does not need to be shown, as I first thought, as “too left-wing”-—he needs to be shown , STILL, as reasonable and a moderate by contrast with a challenger who only pretends to have differences with him, someone totally benighted as far as his REAL chances of getting the nomination. It could be anyone, even Bernie Sanders, who’s willing to go out there
and speak for the true and only “Democratic Party” constituencies who Obama’s “disappointed”. This will be a farce enacted by willing fall-guys whose ONLY and ULTIMATE goal will be to see Obama get re-elected. Obama is meant to come across in this scenario as responsible, moderate, someone stuck with an impossible situation, willing to “work with” Republicans, and above all, someone who willingly underwent a very tough learning process on the tumultuous world stage. It’s obvious the Left needs to “save” their Party, but they won’t do it through pretending to be more “moderate” than Obama, since the process has been underway for some time to present Obama that way. They will once again be back to Square One, trying to save their Party, and AMerica, through the magical vehicle of Barack Obama. They’re stuck on the horns of a dilemma, because there are already enough RINO Republicans who are still being stuffed down our throats, like ROMNEY, who will provide a “lite” contrast to Obama.
Not enough of a contrast, though, and “that’s the rub”, and that’s EXACTLY why Romney comes out, very late in the game, as being “against” the vote on the Debt Ceiling increase, in a clumsy bid for the “Tea Party vote”.
He’s “acting” every bit as much as everyone on the Dem side is acting, pretending to be so dissatisfied with how much Obama has ‘sold out’. Mark my words—the challenge will come farcically, and in an entirely calculated way, from “the Far Left”.As Jon Lovitz as Master Thespian on SNL, it’s ACTING!! So far, mostly ACTING from both sides, from the “viable” candidates.
Like Hillary!™ for example?
Obama may be an incompetent, narcissistic, patently stupid Leninist empty suit ... but he hasn’t shown signs yet of being suicidal.
He also hasn’t shown any signs of being able to predict even the most obvious of consequences.
AH...I’m not saying there will not be; what I am saying it will not be to the extent when clinton won...the right and independents have wised up...what worked before for the dem party will not work again......
There are die-hards, yes, but so many of them are out of work and know that Obama has not delivered on promises that I do not believe the energy will be re-captured.
And I do believe that enough of them would go 3rd party to make a difference (these would run to the promises of the New Messiah...whoever it would be).

In April, Nader said the 2nd term of the One was a given.
