The New York Times: Reports on the dim prospects that a Democrat would challenge President Obama in 2012 for the Democratic nomination. At present its not on the horizon, Obama is still the first African - American President, and one of the most powerful political groups within the Democratic Party is African - American voters as noted by the article, if Obama was to be challenged the opponent would have to win, as failure would lead to political dustbin. Thus we come to Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State, will she throw her hat in to the ring, well lets recall Obama had a narrow win over then Senator Clinton in the 2008 Democratic race, and also we have the fact that Bill Clinton has and will never forgive the Obama Camp for using the race card on him in the 2008 race. The Clintons don’t like to lose, they will fight to the last second! Also should Obama win and go down to defeat in 2012 then Hillary Clinton can do a Reagan, in 1976 Reagan challenged President Ford but lost, but after four years of Carter the Republican Party and the Country turned to Reagan in 1980. That’s the winning example that both Clintons could live with, the negative would be when the late Senator Edward Kennedy challenged Carter and lost, he returned to the Senate and never ran for President again. Thus VIEWS prediction its to early folks, on the whole think Obama will be the Democratic Candidate for President but will lose big, in less he turns himself in to a tax cutter for all Americans, then all new ball game folks, does Obama have the ability to be that pragmatic?
