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.
