Russ Feingold, Bernie Sanders, Howard Dean, someone? A real progressive needs to run against Obama in the primaries. They should run largely as Obama did, but never, ever, ever criticize him. Simply, run as a real progressive. The message will be clear that he is not who he said he was, but the primary challenger is. Nothing should be said that the Republicans can use against Obama if he wins renomination. It will even strengthen him as a more "centrist" and "conservative" Democrat. This is what he has been trying to achieve. We should help him.
If a real progressive wins in the primaries, then Obama should not be our candidate anyway. The country wanted the progressive in 2008; let's give them a real one in 2012.
