True Teddy remained a lion within the Democrat Party because of his staunch liberalism and family name even though he helped doom Carter’s re-election chances.

But the Clintons are not viewed as dreamy idealists and would be regarded as opportunistic hyenas should they decide to turn on BHO.

And of course the black community would go apepoop, the Clintons would forever alienate the largest and most loyal element of the Democrat coalition. It would me the mother of all civil wars.

And like I said before, I so no signs or elements of this potential challenge coming into fruition and time is running out.

Even though Carter is a liberal, the Northeastern elite never liked him because he was a white man from the South and was religious...so it was easier for Teddy to challenge him. (So unfair of Roger Mudd to pose that trick question to Teddy, "Why do you want to be President?").

For Hillary to challenge a sitting black President would be a lot trickier. Short of Obama announcing he won't run for another term (extremely unlikely) I don't see her running in 2012.
