Any suggestions for a strong pro-labor primary challenger for 2012?

[JDPriestly]

Someone with a good personality who is not sold out to Wall Street?

12. If you answer these 3 questions in the affirmative...it's YOU:

Are you strong pro-labor?
Strong personality?
Not sold-out to Wall St.?

Do it!

2. Sen. Sherrod Brown

But I'm biased, he's my favorite senator.

6. Good idea. But junk food is about all a person could afford on food stamps.

9. yes, Feingold, Kucinich, Grayson, many

But the Democratic Party allowed Kucinich to be black-balled last round.

I don't care, I'll write in any one of these and will not vote for Obama or any other Republican this time.

done

8. there isn't one, because it is stupid to primary a President who is a Democrat

and everyone who is even remotely qualified to challenge him understands this.

11. if obama is a democrat,,, i ain't one

and i've moved right if anything thru the years

10. yeah right

Obama is doing what he should do with Wisconsin - stay out of it.

I read an article (one of my last on Huff Post) about how the GOP is bemoaning the lack of organization in Wisconsin. They are also attempting to recall some of the democratic senators but they have no real money or people behind the measure.

I suspect if Obama were to show up in Wisconsin that would change. This is a state issue and the democrats are doing an amazing job in that state. Obama needs to vocal his support (he has) and then let Wisconsin and democracy fix the problem.

15. If it were just about Obama's lack of commitment on the union issue.

you would be right. But Obama has just backed absurd policies -- without a fight -- without going to the American people and standing up for what is right, what really makes sense -- over and over and over and over.

It isn't one specific issue. It's his general lack of backbone. It's his appointments of supporters of Wall Street as opposed to Main Street as his primary economic advisers.

I just don't trust Obama.

I would like to see a challenge from a strong progressive person who will put Main Street and ordinary Americans before Wall Street and foreign allies.

13. This will be extraordinarily goofy, but

how about the farmer who gave that rip-roaring speech the other day? Has the right look, the ol fire in the belly ... Personally I liked him because of the way MSNBC (was it Ed?) was *talking down* to him -- afterwhich he proved to be waaaaaay smarter than the average bear. Someone like that would at least be great at threading all the protests together ...

14. I would like to know more about him. He sounded very good.
