Who is better the Republicans or democrats?
Republicans favor smaller government which means lower taxes, but also less protection of people that do not have money. Democrats favor larger government which means higher taxes, but also a social "safety net" to catch people that lose their job, get injured, etc. As a rule, Republicans are more in favor of "freedom with your own money". Democrats prefer "freedom to do as you please" I am biased and I am a Democrat.

How do Republicans and Democrats differ on their views of the US government's 700-billion-dollar bailout?
Among the congressmen, there doesn't seem to be any clear line that either party follows. 65 republicans voted yes, 133 voted no. 140 democrats voted yes, 95 voted no. So, there is no clear attitude, but as you can tell from the voting, the democrats in Congress are generally a bit more positive on the bailout.

Can Democrats run against Obama in 2012?
There's nothing that says that an incumbent president (or holder of any other office) is protected against challengers from within his or her own party. At the 1948 Democratic National Convention, there was an attempt to dump Truman (the incumbent Democratic president) in favor of Dwight D. Eisenhower (a Republican, though at the time the Democrats probably did not know this). However, Eisenhower flatly refused to run for either the Democrats or the Republicans, and the Democrats rather reluctantly realigned behind Truman (except for a small minority, the States' Rights Democrats or "Dixiecrats", who split off to support Strom Thurmond; if you've never heard of the Dixiecrats, let's just say they basically supported the US version of Apartheid). That said, the Democrats in 2012 decided not to mount a serious challenge to President Obama, and it turned out okay, since the president won re-election, defeating his Republican challenger Mitt Romney and winning a second term.
