Wow, aren't we only about a month or two before people start announcing a run for 2012 elections....

[KansasVoter]

I think Hillary announced in January 2007 and Obama in February 2007.

Doesn't that mean some GOP idiots will start announcing in about two months?

It will be an interesting time here on the DU!

[tekisui]

1. Yep! 2012 officially starts in January. Hell Newt all but announced today.

They will be out there trying to out-crazy each other. I can't wait!

[KansasVoter]

2. It will be funny when the GOP starts ripping Palin like we do. Fun times!!

[obxhead]

3. I honestly surprised nobody has announced yet.

I was positive some tea bagger would jump the gun.

4. What would we do if Sen. Bernie Sanders announced he's running for President---?

I'd be applauding --

:applause:


We need a bunch of liberals to announce ... C-span will cover them ....

The day after the election in ..../? Lamar Alexander announced and C-span

covered him for four years!!

We need to hear some propaganda other than the pro-corporate kind!!!

[somone]

5. We need some announcements on the Dem side

to get the ball rolling

[defendandprotect]

6. That, too ... but imo Sen. Bernie Sanders is one of our better Democrats ...!!

What would you do?

[somone]

7. I like Bernie

I'd support him without reservations

[The Hitman]

8. Uhhh. NO

OBAMA 2012.

[somone]

10. Why not?

Make Obama earn his nomination

[The Hitman]

11. Because the party in power never wins the general when primaried.

[AlabamaLibrul]

13. Maybe the party in power should earn their re-election instead of sliding through on incumbency. n/t

[Hawkeye-X]

14. Dude, where were you the last two years?

Of course, Obama needs to be primaried from the left, and taught a very painful lesson - Don't suck on Rethuglican's mojo. They'll make you look bad.

I fully support a primary, even if Obama wins, he has to remain to the left and permanently ignore the Republicans. They have earned NOTHING for the past 10 years except lots of scorn, disdain and spit.

19. I know its en vogue to hate on Obama now

But I'm still backing my president.

[Smarmie Doofus]

17. Precarious logic.

Though quite common.

Defective incumbents invite primary challenges.

Their defeat in the GE is just as easily attributable to the defects as it is to the primary challenge.

[ZombieHorde]

9. Should be awesome. I think most of us love primaries. nt

[hayu_lol]

12. Gingrich is more or less in...still dancing...

but you know he is salivating at the possibility. Next 6 months will see the front-running Repugnants fighting each other. Wouldn't be surprised if McConnell doesn't make a trial run.

For us...only Dem on the hill working that I can see is Al Franken.

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. Kucinich announced December 12, 2006. Edwards December 28, 2006.

Tick tock. Tick tock...

[KansasVoter]

18. Wow, even sooner!

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. Kucinich announced December 12, 2006. Edwards December 28, 2006.

Tick tock. Tick tock...

[sharesunited]

20. Rick Perry denying he's interested, is VERY interested.

Out promoting some kind of "seesesh" book he wrote.

Ugh his voice sounds so much like W's.

[Initech]

21. If Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich get anywhere past the primaries...

I may have to start finding a way to relocate out of America. I do not want to live in a country run by the American Taliban.

[TheWraith]

22. Gingrich and Palin are already unofficially running.

They've made the de rigeur "I'd think about it" statement.
