25. It would be a bad idea to have a primary challenge because we would
Edited on Sat Dec-11-10 12:15 AM by Liquorice
almost certainly lose the WH. It does remind me of 1980 as well, and the mere thought of another Reagan-type fills me with dread. No, we have to keep the WH, and that means we can't have a primary challenger. But perhaps more importantly, what credible democratic candidate who could actually win and would consider challenging Obama is there? If there were someone out there who had a really good chance of winning, then I might change my mind, but I can't think of one person. I don't agree that racial animosity is a legitimate reason to support Obama however.
