Don't you think another 4 might also?
I get the pessimism though, that America is a right-wing, redneck nation, smart-hating nation and FoxNews has the numbers to prove it.
I didn't really want Obama to be prez in the first place, but I voted for him because I liked the idea of McCain even less. And I definitely dislike things like Manning, Guantamo and the USAPATRIOT act. Other than that Obama's a nice person with some accomplishments like healthcare, tax refunds etc., slowing job loss, but we need a real dem with some backbone!

In a sense, the ballot box is not going to save us. I understand that. |

The ball is in his court. If he doesn't want a challenger, he can just outflank them from the left. |

Do you mean Obama can just outflank opponents with empty and meaningless rhetoric from the left. |
