Saw this on Reddit:
Crosstabs here: http://www.theconservativejournalblo...-2012-rematch/
Quote:
For our first round of national polling, we thought it would be fun to ask respondents their opinions of some theoretical matchups for the 2012 election. Given the contentiousness of the 2008 Democratic primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, what better a theoretical match-up to start with, eh? In a primary rematch, Secretary of State Clinton would give Barack a run for his money; in fact, our poll shows the two neck and neck, both earning 45% of the vote with the remainder undecided. Check out the crosstabs by gender and ideology below.

Thanks for the welcome! I've been reading here a while and decided to join when I read the latest Barry fail.

Nice to meet you Bob. Yes that would be a hoot for sure if
Barry lost in the primaries. That would be so humiliating to
his narcissist self.

I will laugh my ass off should that happen. I have moles in training on DU so I can see the meltdown close up.

Welcome.
There won't be a Democratic primary challenge, because anyone who ran and beat Obama would have to go into the general election with an extremely pissed off African-American electorate that accounts for roughly 20% of the Democratic vote (12.5% of the general population, slightly underrepresented in the voting population, but almost entirely on the Democratic side). That would mean that instead of going in with a base vote of 45%, he'd be going in with 25%. With the loss of independents that the Democrats are looking at, they'd end up with about 30-35% of the vote in the general election, which would translate into the worst electoral shellacking in history.--Odysseus

Can you imagine the cries of racism that will come from the left once Barky loses?

I would LOVE to see Sen. Bernie Sanders challenge Obama in the primaries.
As it is, the Democratic party doesn't stand for anything. They don't stand for social security, they don't stand for medicare/medicaid, they don't stand for true universal healthcare and they don't stand for worker's rights, they are just as pro-war, pro-torture, and pro-domestic spying as the Republicans are, they put the interests of big money elites before the interests of working people.
I don't see any significant difference between them and Republicans. What is the Democratic party, the "party of"? letting gays marry? Ok that's a nice goal but frankly we need some bigger things to aim for.
If the current crop of Democrats go up for election (which it seems they will), they won't be getting my vote. Obama will not either.

Bernie Sanders cannot challenge Ododo. He is not a democrat.
