If Democratic primaries were being held today and President Obama

[INdemo]

was being challenged who would you vote for?
The Challenger or President Obama?

[Mari333]

1. depends on the challenger.

probly vote Green if the challenger were no different than Obama.

[DrDan]

2. want to throw a name out there?

I doubt if you would see much support for Baucus, Nelson, and Lincoln.

However, there may some acceptable candidates.

Hard to answer your question in it's present form.

[Yupster]

10. In a shocking development,

Joe Lieberman has again declared himself a Democratic Party member and has thrown himself into the presidential primaries.

[Deep13]

28. POTUS, then. nt

[saltpoint]

3. President Obama has my vote.

[secondwind]

4. jeez........it's too early for this crap! Try this one out in late 2011.

[LaydeeBug]

9. +1 nt

[JVS]

15. That's too late, early 2011 is when a campaign would need to form

[shadowknows69]

18. Be too late by then. If anyone is going to mount a successful Primary campaign

They need to start soon.

[Ganja Ninja]

5. Alan Grayson.

:patriot:

[RainDog]

6. looking at the last two primaries... no one but Dr. Dean

but the democratic power fuckers don't want him because he speaks for, you know, democrats.

[NoPasaran]

7. I now regret I didn't vote for Batman when I had my chance

[MineralMan]

8. The primaries are NOT being held today. President Obama

is still the President of The United States, and will be for some time. Save it for 2011.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. Oscar the Grouch

[stray cat]

12. I think most of the candidates who had a chance in hell have similar views

[WeDidIt]

13. Generic poll? Gotta go Challenger

I'll stick by that until an actual name is thrown out.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Whichever one convinces me that he's an anti-war progressive.

If neither does, I'll look elsewhere.

[shadowknows69]

20. +1. Sorry rabid ban wishers, I still vote Democratic for local races.

[shadowknows69]

16. Um, who is the challenger?

[bigwillq]

17. Depends who the challenger is.

I would certainly vote for the challenger if it was somebody I thought was a worthy nominee. I think primaries are the only chance you have to vote with your heart. I didn't vote for Obama in the 2008 primary but I did in the GE because I thought he was better than the alternative.

19. Obama

Despite all the waaambulances running around here

21. Obama and if a real poll in the real world of democrats were done he would easily win renomination

among democrats. Look at all the polls even now he has over 80% approval among Dems. I'm disappointed by his stand on health care, but I sure don't see anybody out there who could beat him or be elected in his stead--Dean couldn't (and I was for him in '04) and DK certainly could never win a general election let alone a primary.

[niceypoo]

22. If I knew what I know now

I would vote for the challenger

[southernyankeebelle]

23. depends on who the challenger is. Who ever it is the person must be able

to be a republican or I will stay with Obama.

[tomm2thumbs]

24. Joe Biden is a start

[jmowreader]

26. Well...I voted for Hillary in the primaries...

Assuming the primaries were being held today and we didn't know who President Obama was, I think I'd still go with Hillary.

In an ideal situation...we'd be looking at President Schweitzer. But given that the Republicans are going to stonewall any Democratic attempts to fix anything, he probably wouldn't be able to get anything more done than Obama has been.

[Vidar]

27. Dean, Kucinich, Feingold, Grayson or a number or a number of others would have my vote.

Obama is moving into Lieberman territory.

[Deep13]

29. Impossible to answer. In point of fact, I voted for HRC...

...because I was afraid that Obama's amateur experience would be a disaster. In particular, I was afraid he wouldn't know where enough of the bodies were buried to be able to coerce votes in Congress. He's treating governance like it was a civics lesson or like a School House Rock video and not like back-stabbing hyena pit that it is.
