Maybe Russ Feingold? He actually could give Obama a bit of a fight in Iowa and New Hampshire. As long as he got his supporters out for Obama in the general, what's the problem? Which reminds me... in Obama's sinking approvals, many forget that a little chunk of the people he's losing are from his Left. Case in point: Ariana Huffington comparing candidate Obama with President Obama and calling on Biden to resign in protest. These people aren't going to vote Republican and will probably not stay home on Election Day either if there's a risk of a GOP win.

The only possibility in my opinion is Kucinich, but I don't think he will.

Someone has got to do it. My bet is Kucinich and maybe Feingold.

Gravel would no chance. First of all, remember his 2008 bid when he was destroyed by media freeze. Second of all, he switched to LP. Third of all he'll be 82.
Gravel was my favorite in 2008 primaries even when he stood no chances.
And no one would primary Obama. If Kennedy couldnt' primary Carter in 1980, why do you think someone can primary incumnet at all?

Carter was a vastly superior president to Obama. If there actually were a strong candidate to challenge him, Obama would be very vulnerable as the country collapsed around him in time for 2012.

Kennedy almost certainly would have beaten Carter had Carter not been boosted at just the right time by the emergence of the hostate situation in December 1979.

Unless Obama has some sort of crippling incident between now and 2012 (stock collapse, terrorist attack, major scandal, etc.) there will be no serious primary challengers. It'll all be jokes like Kucinich.

Actually maybe Carter himself should run in 2012.

Kucinch might not want to run. If he's seen as ignoring his district on some hopeless race again, he'll have his own primary to worry about again.

This. I remember reading about Kucinich barely getting 50% in his
Congressional primary
in 2008, and dropping below 60% in the general election. He may think again about running in 2012, especially since it is an incumbent President that he would be running against.

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.
So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.

Stiill not impreessive for veteran Congressman, SS
Anyway, with all "primary" thing... even George W. Bush with his approvals in 20s would not be primaries in GOP contests, had he be able to run for third term (I remind that McCain, in order to win a nomination, hed to became his "great buddy").

That would be a clear sign that Kucinich has completely sold out to corporate interests and the Democratic establishment.

Hopefully Dennis Kuicinich. Obama is turning into a pro-war fascist who kills innocent muslims, just like Bush.
