Ralph Nader Says Obama Will Have a Primary Challenger

Ulsterman reports:

Nader made it clear that the president’s repeated failure of leadership is reason enough he should be challenged for the Democratic Party nomination…

Nader indicated ”another chapter” in the move to get a viable primary challenger to Barack Obama will unfold within the next week and a half.  Who that candidate might be is uncertain – but that President Obama will have to fight off at least one opponent for the Democratic Party nomination appears increasingly certain.

    Nader is still working on his lawsuits against the Democrats for keeping him off the ballot in several states in 2004! Of course he’s angry and wants to get back at them somehow, and would love to see a primary challenge to the President. But it isn’t gonna happen, not in any serious way. I’ll put money on it, at 5 to 1 odds.

    I know Dennis Kucinich has been out trolling for a place to move to and run for Congress. Maybe he’ll give that up and make another run at the Dem nominaiton. If I didn’t think Feingold might run for Gov or Senate in WI, I would say Feingold. he could generate some money and support.

    From interviewsd I’ve read w/ Mr. Nader he is way tired of runing for president. He’s hoping another progressive champion will step up.

    Cynthia McKinney; no way. She is barely on the radar politically. And her in and the out and then in thing with her presidential run back in 2008 alienated many people.

    I hear Roseanne Barr is talking abt running for president … And no, Ogle is not my source! lol

    And I agree abt the staleness of CatTrots schtick.

    CC&HH, your spoof might have been mildly clever at one time, but that time has long since passed. Please get a new schtick.

    Agreed.

    He’s name dropped Jim Hightower before. I would rather see him make a third party run, though, than an even more quixotic run at Obama.

    Bernie Sanders is too smart to run as a Democrat (which he has never been) and Mike Gravel remembers dinosaurs! McKinney… perhaps since she likes tilting at windmills.

    Bernie Sanders or Mike Gravel would be my guess with Cynthia McKinney being a long shot.

  8. It’s Ralph Nader doing some self-promotion by pretending that it’s going to be anyone besides himself. Ralph is not an insider, he’s a total outsider to the Catholic-Libertarian-Homosexual conspiracy to destroy Zion (America). He puppets their words but he knows nothing about their real meaning, the grand conspiracy has rejected him for the fact that he’s a bat-shit crazy that sleeps on a cot behind his desk covered with papers despite the fact he’s a multi-millionaire.

    No one on the left besides Mister Barack Hussein Obama, a Swizz citizen and known Mormon sleeper agent, because they all must submit to their master, the evil Lord Alan Keyes himself leader of the Catholic-Libertarian-Homosexual faithful. Dream on Nader!

    Let’s play guess the primary challenger.

    My off the top of my head guess is Van Jones. I’ll explore and see if I can find a real rumor.

    Unless this primary challenger has a lot of money and/or is a very well known person, they won’t have much of an impact against Obama.
