Be careful what you wish for. I want Obama to run again. He’s so badly damaged now and his base is so fragmented that I don’t think he has a chance in Hell of getting reelected.
But, if he decides not to run, and if he throws his support behind Hillary, it could really change the election dynamic. Hillary could energize the Dem base again, especially the PUMAs who believe (correctly) she was robbed the last time around.
And, if Hillary decides to nominate Andrew Cuomo as her Veep pick, they would have a genuine chance at winning.
We do not want to go there.
Point taken, but it would be fun at least to see another democrat or two run in the primaries against Obama. There have already been rumors that the French looking John Kerry is considering doing just that. (Did you know he served in Vietnam? sarc/)
A primary challenge would cause Obama to burn up a fairly decent sized portion of his re-election stash, and take some of the focus away from the Republican bashing in the media.
In the end, I think Obama would still be the nominee, but the rats would be even more fractured than they are now.
I would be tempted to go into the popcorn business if Barry had a primary opponent (or two).
