Maybe thread starts should be limited to the length of tweets...

Barring an assassination or a Watergate type event Obama will be the Democrats nominee for 2012. As for contenders?
Presidential nominees have sometimes come from unexpected places ... although mostly on the Democrat side. McGovern, Carter, Bill Clinton were all long shots for the nomination 19+ months before the general election.

As I said, there is doubt in my mind the Clintons will let him run, or do much of anything actually.

If the Clintons want it, they'll go for it........they are vivious people.....Ted Kennedy opposed Carter....
on Drudge this morning, article on Obama's poll numbers are the lowest yet and article on Hillary's poll numbers the highest ever.....
It seems everybody has some sort of complaint about Obama regardless of your political orientation......how do the dums expect to get enthusiasm and voter turn out? Hillary could infuse enthusiasm.....
Hillary probably has a better chance of winning....polls will show that.....dums will wanna throw Obama under the bus [like he did his grandma, Reverend Wright, Alice Palmer, etc etc].....
Repubs should be afraid of Hillary, partly because they regularly nominate boobs........Hillary flunked her bar examination the first time, so she's no bright bulb like Bill, but Bill is the bigger shark of the 2 and wants to get back in the White House....plus, the Clintons want pay back for the way dums and Obama treated them last time around........

Who said anything about fair? I didn't offer an opinion whether I thought the system was fair...or not. I was alluding to "common sense"...and reminding you to use it.
Perhaps you've never been one to go through life expecting to use that either. Either way, as Mazo says...Cheers.

Yep, I tend to agree. But curiously...has there ever (and I know ever is a long time) been an incumbent...who ran for a second term...who did not gain the nomination of his party?
I can't remember one, but I'm too lazy to go look. And I know some of you folks have that kind of sh*t tucked away for some reason.

I have just enough common sense to know you'd show up and try and provoke me, and you did.........

It seems your ego could use some checking. There are plenty of people in this forum that have all kinds of political stuff stashed away in their computer.

I'll check my ego, even though I think I'm included in that last comment lol
Depends how you count 1952 and 1968.
In 1952 Estes Kefauver defeated President Truman in the New Hampshire primary and Truman then stopped his campaign for a third term. Similarly in 1968
President Johnson (who was a write-in candidate) defeated Eugene McCarthy in the New Hampshire primary by 7 points and won fewer delegates and withdrew from the race.

Now this is funny. The new guy attempts to wander into D&T, posts 329 times in two weeks and accuses others of stalking.
While I am following Ansley ![Mf Lustslow](https://cdn-w.eccie.net/images/smilies/modern/mf_lustslow.gif) I am also not fighting anyone else's fight but you might choose to pick your battles with someone who knows you are wanting to fight them.
