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

Posted on 08/05/2011 7:33:08 AM PDT by caroline2005nc

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.”

Carter should run on the plank... SEE! I wasn’t so bad after all!

Or like the billboard in Wyoming MN, "Do you miss me yet?"

I suspect that there will not only be a 3rd party conservative running for President, I also suspect that there will be a slate of House and Senate candidates running on his or her ticket with them, in swing races.

tsk, tsk, tsk—that would be considered racist! But it would be fun to see the democrat party really divided.

I think a far-left challenge would be serious.

The far left are provided all the leg work in Obama's campaign. Reams of lefty moonbats volunteered with much energy.

Without that energy (and indeed with that energy directed against him), Obama falls real flat...indies sure don't love him.

If Zero was a hard right conservative (I’ll pause while you stop laughing. try to stay with me here) I could see him being challenged in a primary by the likes of Romney.

Since he is NOT a republican or conservative he will NOT be challanged. Democrats don’t know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It is 100% certain that Ralph Nader is irrelevant.

Does anyone else think that 0 will dump Biden in favor of a more “electable” VP?

The person who runs as a third party conservative is a damn fool. Those who encourage such madness verge on idiocy

Hey, Mitt Romney could run in the (d) primary, since he likes his RomneyCare which is just like obummercare. Check with Screamin Howard Dean too.

If they hate Obama then they must be racists. After all, there is no reason for anyone to even mildly dislike him apart from the color of his skin...

Let's all hope it's a quality challenger....not the likes of hitlery, dingy harry, old ralphy, al sharpton, or al franken.

What's little tony weiner doing these days??? He'd be perfect!

Can you just imagine little tony weiner and the stain in a debate?????

High and delightful comedy to be sure!

I susepct that there will also be a third party candidate on the right...

I don’t think so...this is what the dems would like to happen.

Like CC_guy, I too suspect the appearance of a 3rd party candidate - someone with the appearance of coming from the right, but actually in cahoots with the left. An enabler type.

Trump or similar comes to mind...

When push comes to shove, even far left moonbats understand ObaMao is the best friend they've ever had.

There is, of course, the occasional exception and Cuckoo K might be one of them. But that's because Cuckoo K has integrity. The overwhelming number of leftwing moonbats do not.

I always say I am not racist - I hate his white half, too.
