Why is the incumbent not challenged within his party?

Because she at least has a grasp on the economy, unless she disagrees with Bill who says we shouldn't raise any taxes when we're trying to create jobs in this crap economy. Common sense trumps principles and self respect in this case....no love, just a better option.

Have to agree with SC. The party will make life hell for anyone who wants to challenge an incumbent. But if Obama was polling in the low 20's, I bet the DNC would "encourage" Obama to not run for a second term so that "he can spend more time with his family".

yep....George Bush Jr. He ruins the entire world and get rewarded with a second term...

Whaaat?

Seems like the first term they tread the water and if lucky make a few positive changes (read hooking the people). Then the 2nd term they get the power head on and run rampant with crap.

Yeah, Obama will get re elected and drop the maximum rate on credit card interest charged from 33% to 31.99%..Conditions apply

da Man should have the Soprano's in the Whitehouse with him as advisers.
Or hell get the real deal pull da boss's outa Canyon City.

I was surprised to see those few up there in the links that want to run against BO in 12.

off topic, but, I was thinking the other day about how many people seem to have issues with Obama, Rs and Ds alike. I sort of forgot that during his second term (if we/they give him one) he will not have to worry about being reelected. So even if now he hesitates on certain issues, he can proceed after the election. Issues like MMJ and stronger stances on banks can be made more real. Hey, maybe cops can arrest criminals and we wont have to consider suing them as the most reasonable option.
