Don’t know if you allow this but if we can’t find someone else new. Can like a scandal pop up?

I want to determine first if the players want Obama not to be playable now that Grassr00ts is leaving (which appears to be where most stand right now). After that's determined I'll find a simple way to justify Obama dropping out, no need to worry about that.

Well I do believe I found some people that could be interested.

whom?

It seems that we have two people one who wanted McCain however too old and wanted to play as Mitt Romney who DFL has taken.  However maybe they are willing to be Obama’s.

If they wanted Republicans, I doubt they would want Obama.

Well I think DFL is a Democrat and he chose Romney.

well, I don't think people who haven't made more than 20 posts should be president, if you ask me.

I'm happy with Obama dropping out; he's never really been a figure in the campaign; and I think a plausible scenario could be a LBJ style 1968 dropout where he knows he'd have to tear the party apart to win (as he's facing opposition from multiple corners)

Agreed. Not to mention even if he somehow won the primaries, he would be primaried and with that lose the election. Presidents who were primaried never won an election

Maybe have a leak that Obama offered the position of Sec. of State to Hillary and Hillary rejected it in 2008 or have a recording of Obama saying that "All Americans are dumb for voting for me."

I try several times to get Mitch Daniel's endorsement and even have the endorsement of his future successor (and only republican candidate to seek the position of his) and Chris Christie just gets it. smh

It's even worse that Mitch and Fletcher were governors at the same time and were supporting each other.

You can get McConnel.

Okay, a couple of notes:

-This turn still has 18 hours left, it lasts until the afternoon of Sunday.
-The article is coming within the next two hours, Obama and another important candidate are dropping out.
