Ladies and Gentlemen: It's Time to Name Names.
Advertisements [?]
If you're disappointed in President Obama and want someone else to run on the Democratic ticket in 2012, it's time to start naming names. Who do you want? Who will meet your goals and have a chance of being elected? If you're serious about putting forward a primary candidate against President Obama, it's time to start talking up your choice.

It's time to fish or cut bait. Let's hear some names, along with your reasons for choosing that individual. Provide some links to show that the person supports the progressive goals you support, and offer some reasons why your choice can actually prevail, both in the primary and general election in 2012. Show us. Tell us. Make it clear that you have a suggestion for a candidate who can not only win in the 2012 Democratic Convention, but also in the election in November, 2012.

Let's discuss possible candidates. Let's look at their record of success in elections. Let's look a their statements about issues that are important. Let's assess their popularity amongst the electorate. It does no good to name a candidate who cannot possible win in November, 2012. If you want to primary President Obama, it's time to get started pumping up your candidate so he or she will have a real chance.

So, who will it be. Who's your choice? You don't like President Obama? Who do you want? It is that simple.
