There was talk of Russ Feingold. He could play the Eugene McCarthy role, almost to a tee.
But, like McCarthy, he probably couldn't unseat a sitting President. And, if the Democrat establishment is going to challenge Obama, they need somebody who can win. Evan Bayh would be no better -- and, as a perceived moderate -- he would infuriate the moonbat wing.
In 1968, that guy was Robert F. Kennedy. Now, it's Hillary. And that's about it. The 'Rats really don't have a second string.
Of course, to avoid alienating the black vote, they could run Jesse Jackson, Jr. But wouldn't that be out of the frying pan...and into the fire?
Over a year ago, I predictd a challenge by Kucinich - not a firm prediction, mind you, but a reasonable possiblity.
The little twerp wouldn’t have a chance of winning, but he’s just divorced enough from reality to give it a shot if he saw an opening, and he sure is enamored of his own political views. And the moonbat Left that’s grown disenchanted with BO would love him. Just imagine the tingle down Michael Moore’s leg!
Plus, it would be a lot more pleasant watching little Dennis tote around his wife than the load of baggage Obama’s dealing with.
Had they not, they would have lost the American African vote in 2008. No way can they get rid of him now.
If the RATS seeking reelection in Congress try to distance themselves too much from the idiot they created, they too may lose the plantation votes.
Basically, they are screwed.
