"When Gene McCarthy started running against Lyndon Johnson it was unthinkable that Johnson could be driven out of the race, but the very existence of a serious opponent began to just chew up his presidency, and if somebody has the courage to get up and say 'Barack Obama is a nice guy but he can’t do the job, and I’m going to represent the Democratic Party,' that person might be shocked at how rapidly they start developing momentum. Just based on pure competency you now have a president who's so ineffective it's frightening."
