It's pretty clear that the Democratic party will take decades to recover from a 2012 Obama nomination. His approval needs to tank in the next year so that a strong challenger emerges. Worst case would have him tanking after he gets the nomination.

I think pounding is correct and the CW on a primary is wrong.  As for Feingold, not only did his spokesperson say not running for president, but he joined the GOP filibuster.  Not sure his reasons  though.  He may oppose the tax cuts for anyone for all I know.  Anyway, Raul Grivalja or someone may run but Obama will be able to ignore it and have no primary debates.

Russ Feingold and Jim Moran oppose the tax cuts. All of them.

Well I admire Feingold for his principles but he maybe validates Obama's argument about rigidity as the actual effect of his vote was to help extend the tax cuts for everyone instead of expiring a large portion of them.

I think that you're rather overstating Feingold's relevance to this tax cut deal.
