Often, an incumbent president (no matter which party he is from) will not have someone in his party challenging him when he runs for his second term. For example, when President Bush ran for a second term in 2004, the Republican party did not put up any serious opposition (although there were some unsuccessful third-party efforts). Similarly, there is not a serious effort from the Democrats to run a challenger to President Obama as he seeks a second term. This is not unusual: the incumbent is usually given the chance to seek re-election.
