I haven't heard of any major candidates challenging Obama in the primary.

1. I haven't heard of any minor ones doing it either.

I'm kind of thinking that anyone wanting to push the federal government in a more liberal direction might do well to focus on Congress, although I'm not hearing a whole hell of a lot in the way of names of new candidates to support.

6. Don't worry, Obama will be to the right of him in no time!

4. You won't because they are more in touch with reality than DUers calling for him to be primaried.

Also, they are not "candidates" unless they choose to run, but the usual suspects are too smart to primary Obama & tilt at windmills, putting their lives and political futures in turmoil and put themselves greatly into debt just to satisfy those who want to see Obama primaried.

5. There's always Howard Dean.

As I recall, one "scream" (or whatever the hell it was) was enough to cause the base to run away like cowards. Now, he's suddenly the darling because people think the president rules by decree.

7. Obama has...

...or will have a billion dollars to run on. There's no point in having a primary, let alone an election. Realistically, if elections go to the biggest spender, it's already a done deal.

8. As unsurprising as it is disappointing. nt
