We get regular attack threads on Jindal and Christie here on the board. Jindal has been forgotten since they plugged the hole in LA, but Christie still gets regular attention here. Mostly from Dante types.
Incumbent presidents almost never face challenges. And I don't know of any challenge that succeeded.
I'm not much of a Presidential historian, but if the dems backed Carter, they will back obama.
He will get little to no support as no one will want to go down with him.
Politics is a power game. Let no one be confused that those in power will do whatever it takes to keep that power, that's including sacrificing obama to anyone that runs against him.
That's not always true. In the case of George H.W. Bush, he lost to Clinton but only because Independent votes that would have gone to Ross Perot went to Clinton, not Bush. The same kind of upset could happen to Obama, but it would have to be a blue dog type candidate to knock him out. So again, it all rests of the state of the economy because if it is still bad, or worse, that's the only way a blue dog would win. "It's the economy, stupid," would belong to Obama. And a blue dog, if that happened, could beat a conservative Republican.
Correct....In my opinon
