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.
So who would the democratic party want to see run in a primary against Obama?

Democrats always love the Republicans they know they can beat.

While no republican presidential candidate yet makes Obama's team "shake in [their] shoes...," President Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, tells the U.S. News and World Report that Governor Jon Huntsman makes him, a "wee bit queasy...I think he's really out there speaking a lot of truth about the direction of the party."
Furthermore, Huntsman isn't exactly a "moderate" as much as he is a diplomat. See his positions on the 2nd amendment and on abortion if you're curious:

Originally posted by Hugh GlassWhy do you think? If a minority of Democrats suddenly form, say, a "TEM Party" (Tax Everyone More Party) in response to the TEA Party, then the TEM Party would split votes away from the Democrats just as much as have TEA Party candidates beaten mainstream GOP candidates in primaries.
Oh, why say you that?

Actually the way the Dems have been swooning over Huntsman lately maybe he should switch parties and steal Obama's thunder.
Huntsman is a moderate by today's standards. His politics are about identical to Reagan's. Remember when he was considered conservative?

Originally posted by KunsooHe's actually backtracked from that debate appearance a little bit. Not much, but a little bit. I agree, though, that it was a pretty appalling glimpse into the reality of litmi tests present in the one-and-only GOP.
