Ralph Nader: "almost 100 percent certain" Obama will face primary challenge
The Daily Caller ^ | August 5, 2011 | Steven Nelson

Ralph Nader, the consumer advocate and perennial third-party presidential candidate, announced last month that he would work to find a Democrat to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012. Nader now says that a primary challenge is a near certainty. “What [Obama] did this week is just going to energize that effort,” Nader promised in an interview with The Daily Caller. “I would guess that the chances of there being a challenge to Obama in the primary are almost 100 percent.”

I would not be surprised to see Hillary run against him. I think she and Bill still hate him.

A challenge may be almost a 100% certainty. A serious challenge much less so. Is Cuckoo Kucinich available?

I susepct that there will also be a third party candidate on the right, in an attempt to dilute the GOP vote.

Obama may win re-election with 43% of the vote. Clinton did.

And the media will praise him and say that everyone loves him and that the victory is a landslide with a mandate.

Seriously? Since when did listening to Ralph Nader about anything make sense?

I think Hillary would love to pay him back for how he’s treated her since making her Sec of State.

So, so true. And then, remember in 2004 when Kerry was leading Bush in the polls in the late summer, media dorks like Tim Tussert was saying that turnout could be huge and if turnout was very large Kerry would win? And thus, if Kerry won with a large turnout in would be a mandate? And then of course, there was a large turnout, Bush won 52% of the vote...and the media failed to focus on the large turnout, failed to call it a mandate...and instead focused on a “controversial” vote count in Ohio!

Got to love it.

From the center or left?

Evan Bayh, or Russ Feingold?

And the last time Nader was correct about anything important would have been in the year...?

A prominent Democrat spouting out all of failures of Obama through a primary season would be good.

I don’t think so...this is what the dems would like to happen...the right has smartened up...and will not be egged into any such thing...not to the degree the dems must have to keep the WH....what worked for them before will not work for them again.......

Russ Feingold would be great —the crazies in the primary would love him, he is so liberal. Evan Bayh is more like a socially liberal Republican — which I would take over Obama everyday of the week...so he should get in too.
