| Description | Why Barack Obama could face three challengers - Feingold, Bloomberg and, yes, Palin...
The billionaire Gorge Soros has now stepped forward in answer to the call I made right after the November 2 elections which were widely seen as a huge popular reproof of President Barack Obama.
"What do the next two years hold?" I asked here . "Already there are the omens of a steady stream of concessions by Obama to the right. At some point a champion of the left will step forward to challenge him in the primaries leading up to Obama's reelection bid in 2012. This futile charade will expire at the 2012 Democratic National Convention amid the rallying cry of 'unity.'
"The White House deserves the menace of a convincing threat now, not some desperate intra–Democratic Party challenge late next year." |
