The Glade 4.0

A new poll by CNN and ORC International finds that 27 percent of Democrats would like to see their party nominate a candidate other than Barack Obama for president in 2012.

In response to the question, "Do you think the Democratic party should renominate Barack Obama as the party's candidate for president in 2012, or do you think the Democratic party should nominate a different candidate for president in 2012?" -- 72 percent said they wanted to see Obama renominated. But 27 percent, slightly more than one in every four, said they wanted to see Democrats nominate a different candidate. One percent had no opinion.

The poll was taken August 24-25. In a survey taken in early August, 28 percent of Democrats said they wanted a different candidate. Polls taken in July and before showed Obama in a stronger position, with no more than 22 percent saying they preferred a different candidate. The current poll is based on interviews with 463 Democrats and has a margin of error of 4.5 percent.

The new poll is another indication of Democratic unhappiness with the president, but it does not mean Obama will face a challenge in his party's primaries. Despite the complaints of a few liberals like Sen. Bernard Sanders, the odds of a Democrat opposing the president appear to be something less than zero. But the new poll is still a matter of concern to Democrats, because it is yet another indication that there is significant disillusionment with the president within his own party. Whether those disaffected Democrats will come around to supporting Obama next year is an open question -- and perhaps the most worrying of the president's re-election bid.

I'm not surprised. I hope the republicans don't take this to mean that we have to "settle" for someone light like Newt or Romney in order to pick up these voters. I disagree I think the sky is the limit more than it has been in a long time.

In other news, the whole "racist" meme is really getting long in the tooth here.

Sure is. However it seems to be the liberal mantra for several people.

With the exception of TheRiov, the only people I see that post it are the conservative crowd here.

I wasn't talking about Glade posters, sorry. There are lots of people in the public eye who espouse that everyone who disagrees with Obama is does so on skin color. I could find some clips if you need them, but they aren't that hard to find.

Our President, while I don't think he believes its true, doesn't seem above allowing it to happen for his gain either.

Afraid I still don't see it much in the real world either. There are the usual suspect that always throw the race card around, but frankly I don't pay attention to them, as it's the whole boy who cried wolf thing.

Google up a few. Liberals scream racist all the time, it's like being mad a bee for stinging, it's their only defense mechanism.

I'll stop using it when you do.
