Reply #4: Some Fox News "Democrats" suggested this last winter [View All]

It was a stupid idea then and it's a stupid idea now. Obama's poll numbers may be low (among the general public) but the Republicans' poll numbers are even worse. The only group that would "benefit" from Obama withdrawing would be the Republicans-whom obviously still see him as a threat politically. I mean, why else would they be working so hard to disenfranchise voters and/or rig the electoral contests (i.e. Pennsylvania) in their favor? Their field is crummy and they know they certainly don't have an "Obama" or a "Reagan" among them. More importantly, however, they know they sure as hell can't run on the issues either.
