BS. Day after election Hillary will resign and begin her 2012 campaign.

[Texas Fossil]

He will not run in 2012, he cannot produce a BC.

Many Secretaries of State will demand one this time.

[DemforBush]

"The left's grievance list is long. They believe Obama is infatuated with centrist, independent voters at the expense of the liberal agenda"

[MNJohnnie]

Because the Democrats are stuck in an unbreakable dilemma. Ether support 0 or lose the racial minority support that is the only thing that keeps them from being a minor party. If Democrats lose the bulk of the black vote they may as well not even run a candidate in 2012

[Ditter]

I keep hearing that the left is not happy with him because he is not left enough. Hard to believe.

[Mustangman]

Obama has been the most left leaning President in my lifetime (Trillion dollar stimulous, Obamacare, apologizing for America at every foreign stop, suing Arizona for a reasonable immigration law, wealth redistribution, Reverend Wright, etc). If the left can’t stomach this guy, who would they be happy with?

To me, the Dems need to re-take Econ 101 to learn how capitalism works, study up on how cruel dictatorships are (and how America mostly tries to overthrow these tyrannies because we’re decent people at heart), and finally, how to balance a check book.

[B.O. Plenty]

Lets us all encourage Hillary to enter the race. We all know that she wants to be first woman POTUS....

...so we must do all we can do to get her into a nasty battle with pres Zer0......fun.... fun....

[hinckley buzzard]

Way early to be saying that. They would have said the same thing about LBJ in 1966 too, but history begged to differ.

President Obama is unlikely to face a Democratic foe in 2012 primary
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Polls show that nearly 60% of the population have serious questions concerning Obama’s natural born status. Does Bazinet seriously think that Obama can get past that an on the ballot in “57” states?

[mort56]

This is because he doesn’t plan to run for President again. He has set his sights on Emperor of the Universe.

[freekitty]

They lie so much; who knows; except it’s probably his evil twin sister, Hillary.

[Ev Reeman]

I would say this depends on how things look going into 2011.

If things have not approved appreciably and the dem party is in complete disarray and dysfunction which is certainly possible, I think we may indeed see an alternative to Obama.

In fact, Obama may pull an LBJ and refuse to run for a second term although given the size of his ego, the latter does seem unlikely.

But even so, Obama’s ego needs to be deflated and the first step in that direction is to vote for as many conservatives and republicans in November as possible.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Boy, I totally disagree with this prediction! Look what is happening now (even before this election). The Dems are distancing themselves from this guy, some are offering alternative ideas ... oh no, he hasn't got this one in the bag. The Republicans are doing a "re-building" throwing out the RINOs ... MY prediction is that after the Dems get clobbered in November, they too are going to have a little house cleaning. This is good for everybody ... the pendulum will swing BOTH with Republicans and Democrats toward "conservative."

The DNC probably won't "dump" him, but the DEMOCRATS will!

[ilovesarah2012]

I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t even run in 2012. Especially if he has to produce his birth certificate.

[Howie66]

“They believe obama is infatuated with centrist, independent voters at the expense of the liberal agenda.”

They also believe in the Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny and Puff The Magic Dragon (No, not the military version....).

[reg45]

If a non-African-American were to defeat 0bama in the Democratic primary, then many African-Americans would vote Republican (or stay at home) for the general election. This would almost certainly guarantee a Republican victory.

[ex-snook]

I doubt Obama will run. He will retire undefeated claiming his progressive surge worked. He will state he has set the agenda for the future, energy change, less foreign war involvement and government as the economic engine. He will turn the job over to Mrs. Clinton.

[Caipirabob]

President Obama is unlikely to face a Democratic foe in 2012 primary

Why should he expect a democrat when only an open socialist can hold a candle to him?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

ping

[DCPatriot]

Baloney! This is ONE bet that I am willing to take.

Obama is radioactive. Even Feingold ran for the hills. Maybe something’s up?

If Hillary resigns as SOS, Obama will announce he’s not running again.
