Invite Lieberman back to the party ... he'd mop the floor with Obama.

No way--he flip-flops and goes with the wind on a lot of issues.

Lieberman could have won the general in 2004, but now he's too old and Democratic voters would never support him for the nomination.

There are really only two options for beating Obama in a primary: Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.

Al Gore?!? I suppose it would hopefully be a cathartic moment for the Dems who think he was robbed of the Presidency. But even bats in a belfry on the moon missing a few cards think he has some issues.

Here's a little trick, using arithmetic

23% of Democrats want Obama to be challenged in the primaries.
That means 77% of Democrats don't want Obama to be challenged in the primaries.
No matter how you split 23%, it won't beat 77%.
When you get to 60% want Obama challenged, repost this thread....

Even if Hillary would forgive the party that kicked her to the curb for Barack Obama--she would never win a general run-off because she comes from this administration.

Taking the job of Secretary of State is not being "stuck in the closet". Way better to have her as a powerhouse on the world stage than as just one senator out of 100 in a country that can't get anything done anymore.

Conservatives do like Ron Paul--in fact I believe he is in 3rd place behind Romney/Perry.

The problem conservatives have with Ron Paul is his foreign policy-Iran--nukes--the killing of UBL---about everything else they like--and they like a lot--that's why he is in 3rd place.
