Reply #39: In a primary, no.

[Ozymanithrax]

Historically, Presidents that face a primary opponent tend to lose the election following the primary.



Now if Democrats were dumb enough to nominate someone else in a primary, I would vote for them and then turn my TV off for President Palin's gala swearing in, when she shoots a bear from a Helicopter before landing and raising her left hand, take the oath of office, then announce her resignation because she can not stand being a lame duck.

1980 Carter was primaried by Kennedy. Carter lost the White House.
1976 Ford primaried by Reagan. Ford Lost he White House.
1968 Johnson primaried by Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy resigned. Democrats lost the White House

We should not ask for history to repeat itself.
