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.”

The more the merrier, I always say.

As wacky as Ralph Nader is, he’d be ten (okay, five) times better as president than Obama.

“As wacky as Ralph Nader is, he’d be ten (okay, five) times better as president than Obama.”

Just remember your math: A Ga-zillion times Zero (as in Barry Zero) is still Zero.......

“drifted toward the corporatist right.”

Isn't it funny how the "corporatist right" always supports leftist projects, leftist politicians, and more government control?

Darn those dastardly rightist corporations, acting leftist/statist must be a part of their nefarious plan.

The key to a Clinton victory is a 3rd Dem candidate who draws from the black/urban/hard core communist vote. In a three way matchup with Clinton, Obama, Cornell West/Al Sharpton/(insert your favorite black leftist), Obama could lose enough of the black vote that Clinton could win.

I’ve said all along that if Donald Trump really wanted to help defeat Barack Obama, don’t run on a Third Party Ticket, CHALLENGE OBAMA IN THE DEM PRIMARIES, DONALD.

I suppose this is just to make him look strong by wiping out some fringe from the fringe candidate. Then get ready for Obama/Huntsman!

Nader is the gift that keeps on giving, although most dems are probably tired of jumping ship to vote for this whack job.
