Who do you think would be the toughest challenge for Obama?

[Renew Deal]

Poll question: Who do you think would be the toughest challenge for Obama?

There are too many republican candidates, so I will list the biggest ones that are likely to run.

[mmonk]

1. Apathy.

[Renew Deal]

5. "Apathy" and "pissed off base" shouldn't whine when they don't get what they want

from the republicans they help elect.

[mmonk]

15. We didn't elect them in 2010.

We have no say in how our government is run. Centrists and their ideological friends in the Republican party are wrong when they say we are to blame for the policies they enact. We didn't cause any of this. So apathy is apropos when one has no voice. That is Obama's challenge. To get people to vote again for weak progress followed by Republican victories.

[Renew Deal]

16. Did you vote in 2010?

[rhett o rick]

30. Your "better of the evils" method is unsustainable. It is causing the current race for the bottom. n...

[rurallib]

2. pissed off base.

[xchrom]

3. his former ambassador to china? was it?

hunt or romney.

but mostly i think the country is happy with obama at the helm.

[Renew Deal]

4. Huntsman

The question is who do you think is the toughest.

[xchrom]

6. right. him or romney.

there's not much diff between the two of them.

[Renew Deal]

7. Why do you think Huntsman is tough for Obama?

Nobody knows who he is.

[xchrom]

8. oh he's got the money and connections to get known --

i don't think that's an issue.

and you never know when you're in a season when voters want the person they are least acquainted with.

[izquierdista]

9. A real New Deal Democrat

[lonestarnot]

12. +25!

[Common Sense Party]

10. Romney? Seriously?

The empty suit?

[Thunderstruck]

11. Other...

None of the above.

[Renew Deal]

14. So who is it?

[Thunderstruck]

17. I don't know but it ain't any of those idiots.

[Renew Deal]

18. lol

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

13. Do DUers really not have an opinion on this?

I don't get how this has 160+ views and 16 votes.

[Common Sense Party]

20. We don't EVER want to vote for a Republican n/t

[rucky]

19. Huckabee

unless we hammer him with some psycho shit he says, he comes off as likeable and reasonable on the surface - making him the most dangerous of the bunch.

[ecstatic]

29. I agree. Wolf in sheep's clothing nt

[HopeHoops]

21. Other - somebody who isn't a total fucking buffoon.

So far, the GOP field is a shitload of Yugos all shouting "Ya wanna race?" at a Camero.

[dkofos]

22. Howard Deam, Bernie Sanders

[kenny blankenship]

23. Romney would have the easiest time blurring the difference between himself and Obama

They kinda look alike and talk alike and they even have the same health care "reform" in their resumé. But hardright Repukes don't like Romney - will their hatred of Obama overcome their distaste for Romney? Could be.

[piratefish08]

24. he's his own worst enemy.

[Erose999]

25. Romney because its impossible to distinguish the difference between them.

[Renew Deal]

26. Is Romney pro choice?

Is Obama a multimillionaire whose father was the governor of Michigan?

[Common Sense Party]

28. Romney was pro-choice at one time, which is why the pukes hate him.

And Obama probably is a multimillionaire from all his book royalties.

[Hawkowl]

27. Obama's only problem is Obama

He needs to develop a backbone, drop the bipartisanship bullshit (it is mere cowardice) and go full tilt at the right wing crazies. If he keeps compromising with the devils he will be out of job.

If he shows fight, there isn't a candidate who can beat him.

[rhett o rick]

31. I disagree. His move to the right will squeeze out any hope the Repukes have.

No moderate Republican candidate can challenge Pres Obama for the right of center. He has made huge points with them by throwing the left under the bus.

Our corporate overlords arent that unhappy with the President Obama. They are willing to wait until 2016 to elect Jeb.

[Hawkowl]

32. A moderate southerner could

Do not underestimate the racism. Combine that with Obama depressing the turnout of his own left wing supporters, (see the midterms of 2010) and he will lose. Especially with $5 gallon gas, falling property values and increased foreclosures, and unemployment above 8%.

Huckabee is probably his greatest threat right now. A Huckabee/Ron Paul ticket would be terrifying.

[deaniac21]

33. His golf game is collapsing. That can really set you back.

[and-justice-for-all]

34. Romney perhaps, but the pukes don't like him so he will

not get the nod.
