The budget deal, angrily rejected by Nancy Pelosi as it passed Thursday, was the last straw. Patricia Murphy on why some liberals are now pushing for a primary challenge to the president.It's Jimmy Carter all over again! At least, we can hope.

Won't a primary challenge from his left make Obama seem more centrist?
Absolutely! See how well it worked for helping Jimmy Carter defeat Ronald Reagan in 1980!
And to make the parallels even better, Jerry Brown is governor of California again!
I would not bet money that Brown will not run for President again in either 2012 or 2016.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist:
